Braces are hurting badly!! Can u help me chew and survive?

I have braces and they didn't hurt when they put them on, then after i had to take 2 advil!! I also have stoppers so my top teeth don't touch my brackets on my bottom teeth. I ate McDonalds after because i was starving and could barely chew. The stoppers prevented me from biting, and the braces prevented me from chewing. Can u tell me how to stop the pain and how to make it easier to eat for the next couple days?? Also the wires aren't poking me so don't even say wax.

Hi...I work for an orthodontist so what we tell our patient's is to take what ever you would take if you had a headache. I promise the pain will go away soon!! It is not this bad all the time...As far as the stoppers you will get use to them...Your teeth should move quick and you will not need them for very long...But until then try eating soft foods and as the next couple of days go on you will forget what it is like to have not had your braces. Best wishes and good luck!!!
