Don't worry when I first got my braces they did that



Okay so I take painkillers like ibuprofen. My teeth still feel bruised but the actual pain went WAY down. For the part of the scratched up lip you should use dental or orthodontic wax (your orthodontist should have given this to you) and if he didnt you could buy it at a store. Once you have the wax feel around in your mouth to figure out which specific bracket (or a couple) are scrtaching you. They'll probably feel scratchier than the other brackets. Pinch off a TINY bit of the wax and put it on the individual brackets that hurt. Dont slather it over all the brackets because it could losen the wire. Hope that helped :)
Oh and leave the wax on long enough just to let your mouth heal then take it off. It shouldnt take too long the mouth is the fastest healing part in the body.

Got my braces on yesterday



Removing a teeth or growing a new one such as the wisdom teeth can be associated with serious pains. It is definitely necessary to plan for a remedy most expecially a natural one before taking such painful risk. Being prepared for the pain helps to reduce its effect. So try to find one ready.
