your mouth will be sore for up to a week as it gets used to the braces. if you have soreness in cheeks or gums where the brackets or wires are poking, u should use the wax your orthodontist should provide. tylenol or ibuprofen should help.
it won't hurt as badly when tightened, but it will help if you take tylenol b4 your appointment.
while you get used to the braces and just after your monthly adjustments, you should just have soft foods or liquids. i like campbells soup at hand, which u heat in the microwave and drink. also ensure/boost give u nutrition if u don't feel like eating.
i have had them for 3 years now, and will hopefully get them off soon - sometimes they are a pain but it will be worth it when they come off! i'm looking forward to a big bowl of popcorn!
good luck!
Braces aren't much fun. I had them for about 3 years. They will hurt and be a nuissance for a month or two until you're used to them. After that, your mouth will probably only be sore when you get them tightened each month. This usually lasts for about 2 days.
Don't be discouraged though, it is worth it in the end!
Take some painkillers to help with the pain. When they get tightened they'll be a bit sore, but not as bad as when you initially got them. The pain would last for a few days depending on how much it was tightened. Rubber bands aren't so bad, although you might want to be careful at night (accidental swallowing).
it wont be as sore when you get them tightened but it will still hurt for a couple of days. don't worry though, each time you get them tightened it will hurt for the first few days but the rest of the time until your next appointment will be fine.
as for the rubber bands- i cant stress this enough- WEAR THEM ALL THE TIME! they are a pain in the *** but i've had my braces on for months longer than I should have because I kept forgetting to wear mine. it's tempting to take them out to stop them hurting but you'll have to wear your braces for longer.
trust me it's all worth it in the end!!
i'm in my 2nd year in braces
it can be tender when you get them tightened
but it's alwys good to have advil with you
me 2 it hurts like helll!!!!! My friends say when u tighen them they hurt even more...yimkes!
it may take a week or two before the initial pain goes away. try eating soup and avoid hard foods during this time
