What can I do to stop my braces hurting so much?!

What can I do to stop my braces hurting so much?

I recently got braces (yesterday) and I'm finding it hard to even eat something soft like watermelon because they are very painful. I'm taking Neurofen every 4 hours like the dentist said to, bu is there anything else I can do to stop the pain?

i'm wearing braces too...
since last february...
that is just a normal pain...
after few days you'll gonna get used to it...
and, every month the doctor will gonna change the whatever colourful thing and you'll feel the same pain too...
belive me, in few days or bout 4-5 days you'll gonna get used to it...
just eat soft things like porridge and soup...
if that braces hurt your lips, you might wanna put the wax thingy at your braces that cause the hurt... (if you got the wax)
good luck !
