Answers:
haha well i guess since you helped me with my retainer question i'll help you out here!.

Obviously since i have a retainer i had braces!.!.!.for 2 years to be exact so i've had to deal with a lot of pain with tightened braces

don't listen to these fools and all their talk of cold foods!. It may taste good but it won't help you situation!. and the painkillers do nothing at all!. maybe they take the edge off but they don't solve the problem!.

theres not much you can do to help your teeth now since you got them tightened only yesterday so just wait for it!. By tomorrow morning you'll feel much better!. not perfect, but deffinitly better!. and try to find the spot in your mouth where it doesnt hurt to chew!. Like when i got my braces tightened my molars would kill me, so i'd just chew with my front teeth!. If this isnt possible, keep to eating softer foods so as not to hurt your teeth!.



Trust me, when it comes to braces time heals all!. Give it a dayWww@Answer-Health@Com

Nothing you really can do!. When you eat don't use your front teeth because on mine those hurt the worst!. Try to eat soups and milkshakes and yogurt!. Also try applesauce!. Unfortunately, the second day of getting your braces tightened is always the worst so you might just need to tough it out!. Keep taking pain killers!. I'm sure tomarow it will be much better, maybe not perfect, but better!. Then the day after that it will be fine!. Just sleep it off and you'll get through it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's normal!. Take Motren IB that should help and wait for it to kick in (about 30-1hour) if that doesn't stop try an Ice cube(that helps too) also try a salt water solution!. 1tsp salt to one 8 oz glass of warm water!. Also braces can be sore for up to a week!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have to deal with it!. Braces always hurt when they get tightened!. Try eating ice cream or something cold, and only eat smooth stuff that doesn't require much chewing! I know, it stinks, right!? I HATE braces!Www@Answer-Health@Com

ok well I just grinned and beared my pains bc I am stubborn but!.!.!. try pain killers or Orajel!.!.!. also eat stuff like apple sauce , baby food, bananas, soup, ice cream you know soft foods!.!.!. Good Luck with the pain, it should be gone within 3 daysWww@Answer-Health@Com

just do the same things you did when you got them on, i remember i took no pain killers but stuck with soft food, thats your best option, the soft food that isWww@Answer-Health@Com

it shouldn't hurt as bad if you took pain killers!.!.!.maybe wait a couple hours until you can take them again and then they may feel better!. or just live with it!.!.!.they usually feel better in a couple of days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
