Answers:
to help kill the pain more just have some pain killing medicine or something!.
i have braces and on the first couple of days they where KILLING me!! i couldn't even bite a cucumber!. They will hurt a the first 3-5 days but they you wont notice that you have braces! Anyways, they brushing takes 5 minutes everyday!.!.!.!.!.!.up down around the braces and you might get a proxy brush that goes beetween the braces!. Also, the first few days you have to had soft foods ( noodles, fish, honeycakes etc)
Well have fun with them!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

That was me last week!
I just got them out and my braces on today!.
What you should eat are soft foods and not hard foods like chips because your teeth will start to hurt(i ate chips on my teeth on the left side and they hurt really bad and they still hurt, well,it is the gum that hurts)!.

Your teeth will hurt with your spacers today because you teeth are moving the make room for the brackets!.

Be prepared when you get your braces on!.Your teeth will hurt when you try to eat solid foods for a few days first get them on!.

When you get your braces on, you will have to brush a couple of times to get some the extra cement out if there is any left after your orthodontist takes the extra out and at the beginning, they will put this gel on your teeth to take the food out I think!.

Make sure that you get at least your two favorite colors!I didn't do that so I have to wait a month to get those changed!.

When you get your braces on it does hurt but it only hurts when your orthodontist puts in your brackets!.

Good Luck and I hope your teeth don't hurt alot after you get your braces on!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oddly enough, chewing helps!.
Chewing has the effect as a massage for a sore muscle (which is why your teeth hurt BTW)!.
Try soft foods like pasta, but try to chew it up!.
After you start your actual braces, chew gum the first day, or see if your doctor has therapy wafers to use!. They are a soft plastic wafer that fit between your teeth and you gently chew on it!.
Both of these help a lot!
It does get better as time goes on and your teeth get used to the movement!. In the meantime, Advil is the best suggestion!.
Good luck, and congratulation!.
You will be very happy in the long run :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Gaaahhh!.!.!. I remember those days!. The worst pain usually subsides in a day or so, but taking Advil is probably the best you can do, and maybe icepacks on your cheeks!.

You could also try Ambesol, which is for teething babies & numbs the gums while teeth are coming in!. That may not help much, as the spacers are shifting your teeth slightly, not your gums!.

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

When I Got Spacers I Chew Gum The Whole Day Even Tho My Ordontists Said Not To Chew Gum!.
It Helps Alot!.
Eat Pudding,Banna,Soup, Mash Patatoes Anything Thats Liquid Or Soft!.
Oh Yeah When You Get The Braces Its Way Worse Than The Spacers!.Soo Much Pain That It Gives Me A Headache When I Got The Braces!.
When Your Braces Are Put On, Eat Anything Because In 2 Hours The Pain Comes In!.
Well Yeahh Good Luck With The Pain!.
Hope This Helps!. :] Www@Answer-Health@Com
