Question: Just got braces, will it always hurt to eat?
Answers:
when i first got my braces,my teeth were really sore for a week,then i eventually started to get used to them. everyone is different though,for some the pain will only last a couple of days,and others (like me) it was there for about a week. you can eat jello,ice cream,soup,apple sauce,oatmeal. just soft foods,i ate soup when i got my braces on. hope this helps!
braces for 3 in a half years
Welcome to the club! The soreness is caused from the braces moving your teeth into place. This generally lasts from a couple days to a week. Taking motrin or some type of pain medicine fifteen minutes before you eat helps with the pain a little bit, but otherwise you just have to tough it out. Get ready for this every time they tighten your braces or put on elastics, new wires, anything of that sort :D
