Sorry sweetling, that's one thing that time is the best cure of. It's a good excuse for milkshakes. Way back in the dark ages when I had my braces, I would live on milk shakes for two or three days every time my sadistic orthodontist tightened my teeth.
As long as you don't bite down on the first day it should be bearable, but I won't lie to you, it's going to hurt. The first 24 hours is the worst, second day isn't quite so bad, by the third day usually between the pain lessening and hunger, the hunger wins.
Milk shakes help a lot, let it sit in your mouth a bit before swallowing. Besides, I never got tired of milkshakes, just change up on the flavor now and then. DQ and Baskin Robbins are your friends!



i know how you feel i just had my taken out but had molar banders put in . try ice cream , smoothies, icees , cold iteams or mac n chesse soup warm and soft because it expands the wire and teeth clod things because to numb the gums.

HOPE YOU FEEL A LOT BETTER .
