Ow ow ow! I am in so much pain!?!


Question: I got my braces adjusted yesterday and they are so painful!!! I have had them for about 8 months, but it has never been this painful. I have to wear rubberbands from my top fang teeth to my molar bottom tooth and it absolutely kills. Is there anything I can do to ease the pain, I have been taking Ibuprofen, but it hurts so bad.

Call the ortho he might prescribe you something stronger than IB profin. The ice is a good idea but who wants to suck on ice try a Popsicle. Your gums are irritated from the adjustment. It sucks my older brother grew up with braces. Oh and you can take up to 4 IB profin depending on your age ... hope your over 18.

Heat a grapefruit in the microwave, bight into it, then watch Good Luck Chuck

Call the dentist - you might need another adjustment.

first, call ur dentist... probably overdid the adjustment... second, try ice... don't chew it or anything, just suck on it... the coolness should help with the pain.

Take some advil or other type of medicated pain killer. Maybe even just try to go to sleep so you won't have to think about it.
I had braces for 3 years and hated the pain. Made me want to pull my teeth out.

i know how you feel i had mine ajusted on monday and its realli hurting badly . i take 2 nurofen and they seem to work for a bit .If that dosent work try doing something that will take you mind off it well tht is what helps me. =P

Ibuprophen is an anti-inflamatory that will help a lot. Also try some ice chips.
