Answers:
The pain will get better, you only had them fitted yesterday, take a painkiller to help with the pain, what ever you normally take for a headache, The braces you have are more comfortable than the other braces that use the colors!. Just eat soft foods and chew using your back teeth, the front wire may feel loose because your teeth are starting to move, or it could mean that a bracket has come off, put your finger on the bracket, if it slides along the wire then it is broken, if it doesnt then it is okay!. If it is broken then give your orthodontist a call and they will be able to get you in to fix it!.

The pain will get better each day, and it will never be this painfull again!. If the brackets are rubbing then try using the wax!.

try keeping it as clean as possible, this will help to prevent any infections!.

Keep your chin up, it will get easier, and remember at the end of it, your going to have a lovely smile!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

What really helped me when i first got my braces was one of those baby teethers!. You put in the fridge or freezer and let it get cold and chew on it!. The cold makes it numb, and chewing on it makes it feel better!. This was recommended by my doctor!. Also some painkillers Tylenol is good!. About the loose wire just make an emergency appointment and have it checked just in case because some time those wires will make the pain even worse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have braces, still got about a year left to wear them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They will hurt for about the first 3 days!. You can take an advil to help releive the pain, or some orajel to numb the area!. But honestly you will probably just have to tough it out for a couple days!. Once it stops hurting you wont have to experience it again, except for about a day after each time youget your braces tightened!. It hurts I know but its worth it I promise!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Take Tylenol or Ibuprofen to help the pain!. I had braces, and I remember the pain the next day all too well!. I was told by my orthodontist to take Ibuprofen and it helped tremendously!. I understand how you feel, and believe me when I say it will pass!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

painkiller will get rid of the pain and it will fade away within two to three days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
