I just got my braces on the 29th of 08 and it is cutting both sides of my tongue!

I had the same problem!. You can't do anything but put wax on the part where it is scraping!. I didn't bother with it because it may hurt but give it about 1 or 2 months and it will never hurt from braces again!. Your gums, and tongue will get tougher with the braces on so they won't hurt after a while!. Don't worry about it, it's normal for that to happen!.

I wish you the best of luck with your pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Get some wax and like put it everywhere where you think it's rubbing!. If you really want to eat!.!.!.get some really soft food down you!. Get a baked potato and put lots of butter and cheese in there so it all melts!. Just think of anything really soft, I half toast bread and melt some cheese on it!.
I feel your pain - got braces too =)!. But it gets better!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
