Answers:

2days perhaps?
a very short time
you will experience exactly the same thing everytime you get them tighten, but as you can probably tell the pain is manageable
eat soft stuff
take a pain killer?
if it cuts or irritates the side of your mouth this could take a week to go, but will only happen the once and they should of given you wax in case this happens



The majority of the pain slowly dwindles down over the course of a week or so. To help soothe the pain, use wax if your orthodontist gave you any to cover the sharp parts of your braces and eat soft foods like pudding or mashed potatoes.

I've been there. Not fun, but it's a fact of life, you know? (:



I grind my teeth at night when I'm asleep so it took exactly a week before the pain has gone away. I know people who say it takes only 3-4 days so comparing the worst to the usual, it should take a week or less before it stops hurting.



i had braces for 2 years
The first time the pain lasted about 4 days to a week
but it really depends on the person and what you eat
I mostly ate soft food because i could barely move my mouth and it hurt alot less (:



trust me, not very long at all! only when u get them tightened now pleaseeee answer my question, heres the link-
