I went to the orthodontist today...?!
Question:
I went to the orthodontist today...?
..and I got rubber bands attached to my braces and they pull back my front-top teeth and they hurt like hell. How do I get rid of the pain without taking them out (I already took 2 advil and I have been eating soft foods)- I have gotten them on before, but I always take them off after the fourth day of hurting...I can't take it!
Please...help me stop suffering with this!

Oh my gosh..I hate those dumb things I have to wear them too and I've had them since like January. Mine totally hold my mouth shut to the point where I like cant even talk. so annoying..lol. but really the only way to get rid of the pain is just leave them in there because once they start working and situiating your teeth, the pain goes away. thats why your not supposed to keep taking them on and off and on and off because it just slows down the movement. Hey..I really know how you feel and I can sympathize with you but just hang in there and be tough and eventually the pain will go away and you wont have to wear the dumb things anymore! Hope I helped! Take care :)
