Question: Just got braces yesterday..?
They feel aweful. I cant even chew a banana. any ideas on how to ignore the pain? or things i can eat? please and thank you

Answers:

Braces will take 3 days - a week to get used to your mouth
Chewing helps loosen your mouth up so try and chew as much as possible.
Take some advil to relieve the pain



I remember when I first got mine on. I thought that they wouldn't hurt, boy was I wrong. You will just have to tough it out and in the meantime eat soft things like mashed potatoes and yogurt and ice cream and foods like that. You can also take like Advil for the pain if you'd like.



Take advil or tylenol and stick to the soft foods. It'll feel better in a couple of days, but it may hurt again when you get them tightened. And you might want to take advil in advance of your next appt. for tightening...might help a bit. It'll all be worth it in the end! :D



No pain, no gain. You will get used to them and when you get older you will have straight, nice looking teeth. It will all be worth it.
