That's how it felt for me. Don't worry, it will go away in about a week. Try eating things like soup or broth, perhaps Ramen noodles, cake, and other soft things that you don't need teeth to chew. Ever eat something really soft that you can chew it using only the top and bottom of your mouth, like yogurt, or pudding? Eat things like that and you'll be fine. If the braces start poking at your gums and irritating them, ask your dentist for wax strips and put them on the braces.

Yeah, that happens to everyone, including me. It will go away in about a week or less. Here's a list of food suggestions:

Smoothies
Milkshakes
Slushies
Mashed Potatoes
Yogurt
Ice Cream
Soup
Applesauce
Tofu
Jello
Scrambled eggs
Rice

And that's about all I can think of right now. Just take a lot of painkillers. And ice cream and smoothies really help because they kinda numb your teeth. Best of luck!

I had braces when I was 11.

umm maybe you should try eating noodle soup or very supple fruits and it wouldnt hurt to try some apple sauce or any other smooth easily chewable foods. just talk to your orthodontist and ask him or her about what to eat to cease the pain. and for the pain, try some oragel or aspirin. good luck...

You could try jello, pudding, ice cream, frozen yogurt, yogurt,, smoothie, slushie, And other soft foods that you could think of. Just try to suck on those. For ice cream and frozen yogurt, I would probably try vanilla/chocolate, because you don't really have to chew those.

Try some pain medicine.

Hope it helps!! Feel Better!!<3

That happened to me too, for the first week I lived off of smoothies and mashed potatoes. I would recommend ice cream, smoothies, mashed potatoes, and you can also try to chew with your tongue and the roof of your mouth.

Well, when I got my braces my teeth were soo sore too so I totally understabd where you are coming from. I think you should try and eat scrambled egg, soups and drink lots of smoothies as they are quite filling. Hope this helps

I have braces

Give it a week, and eat normal, you have to kind of get used to the pain for it to go away. If you baby it itll only last longer.
