The Joys of braces!.!.!.!.!.
Well I would stay away from cold foods because your teeth are extra sensitive right now!. The best thing to eat is anything that involves very little chewing and I would take some Motrin or something as well!. I had braces for 4 years and I never got use to the pain!. You will feel the wires cutting into your mouth sometime in the next 24 hours!. The wax the dentist gives you really does help!. Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

Eat nothing but lukewarm soups and drinks, and you can try room temperature apple sauce or cool yogurt as well as soft things like bananas, ripe kiwis, mashed potatoes, and if you can let it sit in your mouth, Aero Bars are great!. I would avoid cold foods!. The cold will hit one bracket, and it will conduct through the metal, and freeze every other tooth in you mouth!.

Best thing to do for the pain is take some ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin etc!.) and avoid over using your mouth!. If your jaw hurts, you can try a hot/cold compress on the OUTSIDE of your mouth!.

The pain will stop once you have adjusted to you braces (maybe a week) and you can slowly go back to your normal foods, minus the sticky/hard foods!.

Braces may start to cut your mouth when you move your lips alot chewing or talking, but they may never do that!. If they do, get some dental wax and cover them!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Take a glass of warm water with salt and rinse it in your mouth OR take some tylenol or aspirin to ease the pain!. But make sure not to go overboard for more than a day or two, because medicines like that will slow the movement of the teeth!.

Your braces, after about a week, will start cutting into your mouth!. Don't worry or freak out though, your mouth will get used to it and the skin inside will grow stronger!. Sort of like shoveling dirt and getting blisters on your hands!.!.!.once they heal, the skin on the hands grow stronger!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

the wire on your brace don't come loose!. You should of got
new one clear brace you can take out only wear for 6 to 9 month!. It called Invisalign to make you teeth stright Porcelain Veneers !. They would been better then brace no pain no cutting your lip with wire!. That what people are useing then brace that old school!. I hope that work out!.

Eat soft foods (yogurt, soggy cereal was my fav:)lol )
Get some sleep, they will hurt bad tomorrow!. Just have a sick day :)
