Try eating soups, pastas, and other soft fruits!. Don't worry, your teeth will only start to feel from now on!. It hurts really bad the days right after, but within a week, you won't even know you have braces!. You could take aspirin to help with the pain and i know it hurts, but bite down and try to chew solid foods!. As for the sores in your mouth, use this rinse called Peroxyl, it cleans the sores and heals them!. You can find it at drugstores!. For immediate relief, use wax on your braces, but i don't recommend using it for long or else your gums will never get used to the metal!.

The sores in your mouth is caused by the braces and not probably and infection!. You should have asked your dentist for a special wax so that the braces won't wound your mouth!.
In the beginning, the pain is intense and eating is practically painful!. It will last in about a week or so!. Stay away from apples or any hard food as it will hurt like hell!.
Eat pasta or foods like bread!. Dip a bread into a drink such as cofee or chocolate drink (hot) so that it will soften and easier to eat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

fries are pretty easy to eat!. the pain won't last for much longer!. it lasts about a week or so because the wires are causing your teeth to move!. it'll go away soon!. an apple is definitely not a good first choice for new braces!. your teeth will hurt every time you get them tightened or get a new wire!. it sucks, but you'll get used to!. take aleve or tylenol before you go to the orthodontist to help prevent the pain!. don't take advil though, i hear that slows down the movement of your teeth and just makes the braces stay on longer!. for the sores, use the wax they gave you and put them over the sharp pieces of wire!.
braces suck but the end result is so worth it!. you'll be okay, i promise :DWww@Answer-Health@Com

the sores in your mouth are caused by the braces, yes you should ask the dentist for some wax!. well you can eat any solid food you want, but just remember the braces are causing your teeth to move and shift into there proper places so they are gonna hurt and be sore, they will be sore until a week after you have them removed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
to make the pain go away, take like 2x the dosage of advil every 3 hours or so!. food wise, start out with foods like bread because its solid, but soft so you wont have to chew too much!. as for the sores, they will have to heal on their own, but you can buy wax to put on the sides of your braces so it wont happen againWww@Answer-Health@Com
eat dippy eggs (hard white runny yellow)
Ice-Cream or milkshakes
not fries or bread that just hurts
warm beverages tea coffee hot chocolate
and rinse your mouth w/ warm water and salt
it will burn but it will take away the infection if there is any
asprin or advil for pain it will help a little
try to drink your food instead of chewing
(yes it sounds gross but it is less painful)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had braces for a year and I feel your pain!
First of all, apples are not so easy to eat with braces!. They really get caught in your teeth!.
For the mouth pain + "torn to shreds" bit, put some wax on the brackets of your braces!. If your orthodontist/dentist didn't give you any, go to a drugstore, or an online store and buy some!. It's not expensive and a life saver!
For the pain and aches, take Advil or Ibuprofen!. It really helps and it can make it easier to eat!.
For the sores in your mouth, you can try to rinse your mouth with salt water, or just cold water and Popsicles! to ease the pain!. The sores will go away eventually, as the scar tissue grows!. Just hold on!!
Some good foods to eat are bananas, and other softer food (for when it really hurts) like bread, pasta, etc!. and other soft fruits and veggies!.
The pain will ease as time progresses!. Just be strong, and it will be OK!Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes the salt water thing is good for the healing and not starting an infection!. dont try to eat an apple though! you are going to have to stick to soft foods for about 2 weeks!. take ibprophen and drink warm tea!. that helped me!. the warmth will help relax the muscles in your mouth!. good news is that sores/ cuts in the mouth heal the quickest!. just make sure you use the wax they give you! it will get better i promise!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I know exactly how you feel! Well just try to eat any solid foods you can!. The more solid foods you eat, the faster your teeth are gonna feel better because it strengthens your teeth!.
Yes! Do rinse your mouth with warm water and salt!. Or use orajel gel or patches(which work faster and numb)!.?Www@Answer-Health@Com
