BRACES! HELP! plz?!


Question:

BRACES! HELP! plz?

ouch, I just got my braces tightened for the first time. The pain is pretty much gone, except when I chew. And It's hard to explain but my teeth feel numb? it felt the same way after I got them on. And It took like 3 weeks before the "numbness" went away. Is there any thing I can use or do that will make the numbness go away faster? is there like some kind of exercise i can do with my teeth to make them loosen up faster?

help plz!
thnx in advance

When i got my braces on it hurt for like 6 months but that because my teeth were meeeeesssed up but i just took Advil.
and ya never bite hard or push on ur teeth it just makes it worse the numb feeling comes every time u get ur braces tightened. i guess you could just massage the jaw join or just drink or eat cold stuff. because when the wire is hot it shrikes which tightens it while the cold make the wire not tighten...
