My son got his braces yesterday!. He feels your pain!. The ortho gave him a G-U-M product sample--"Rincinol"--which we did not find at Rite Aid or Kmart tonight!. It's online at drugstore!.com; Rincinol is an oral pain relieving rinse and was highly recommended!. Instead of that, then, we purchased Kanka with the brush applicator (about $8 at Rite Aid) which is labeled as helpful for pain with braces!. We had SOME relief with that, albeit temporary!. Best thing we've found is keeping Motrin and Tylenol in him (we use one, then 4 hours later use the other!.!.!.that way less chance of overdosing either medication in my pre-teen child); last night we had very good luck with Advil PM!. My boy agrees!.!.!.the wax is useless!. In fact, he just went to the bathroom to pick the stuff out of his braces because it was just annoying him and making him feel worse!. As a former braces sufferer (from back in the old days when they were made of barbed wire and tightened with a winch!.!.!.just kidding, mostly) I agree with the others--give it time!. It will get better!. And it will be worth it!. Hang in there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You have to wait it out, things will get easier!. Eventually with time, when you take Advil it will work to stop the pain!.!.!. other than that the next month will not be your best!
And they'll hurt even if you eat soft food! :]Www@Answer-Health@Com

Unfortunately, braces will hurt for a few days, depending on how tight they are!. If you are not a hectic person!. you can try to sleep as much as possible to kill time!. Just find something to kill time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
there is discomfort with braces that you have to wait out!.!.!.but when there is pain, such as a wire that pokes into your cheeck or gums you should go in to have the wire clipped!. if the dr!. is not in (most are closed on friday) page him or the doctor on call!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The problem might be brushing habits!. It is not easy to keep up with brushing properly; and some may find it impossible!. It can delay treatment time and make your mouth sore at night!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
