Answer:
Hi,
I just got my braces on monday, and I still really hurt too. I just keep on eating ibueprofen. Sleeping also helps because then u can't feel any pain. Try to keep ur self busy so that way u dont think about it. Like yesterday I redid my whole room. Ice also really helps. Just rub it on ur gums, and braces, but lick it first because it will stick to ur braces if u dont. But ice really helps. It numbs the gums and makes u feel better. That is all i can offer, I know it hurts i am going through the same thing. Just keep reminding ur self that u will have a great smile in the end. Hope this helped
Hi, well i've had braces twice. I found the best thing to do is just take some motrin, or advil, or whatever pain pill you choose. Like 250-500mgrms. (2-3 pills) should help, do not exceed 500mlgrms, at one time. This will help take the edge off, and keep inflammation down. Stay away from hard or crunchy foods, that will make it hurt more. Hope this helps
Hi it depends where your pain is coming from, if your teeth in general are sore take some painkillers this should ease off the longer you have them on. If the metal is cutting you or digging in aywhere you can get wax from your orthodotist to put on any jaggy bits. hope this helps!
