I know exactly how you feel!! I am really sorry that you are in so much pain. Try not to bite down really hard and eat soothing foods like italian ice (convince your parents to take you out for ice cream?) and cold applesauce. You can take pain medication if your parents allow you to, but advil/tylenol did not help me. If you are patient and you don't think about the pain it goes away a lot sooner. Happy Birthday =) |

They will hurt every time they are adjusted. Take some Advil before each appointment. For help with current pain take some Advil. |

Braces don't hurt at all when you get them in but I never got them tightened so i don't know if that's when it hurts. I never felt any pain ever since i got braces!!!

Just take some painkillers such as: Tylenol, Advil, Motrin (and any other pills).
Try brushing your teeth too! That works sometimes. |

Try pain killers. The pain will go away in a few days. It was like that for me too. They are sore right??? When you eat try cutting you food into tiny tiny pices. Try eating softer foods too. Maybe a some soft serve ice cream. Thatelps, plus it doesn't hurt to eat. Good Luck. Also your teeth will look great at the end so just be patient. |

Take some Tylenol, try some oragel, and also use that wax on the braces to keep them from rubbing on your gums. Godd luck, I was there 22 years ago. |

Peace, Love, & Pink!

They will hurt for about a week...then they will hurt again when you get them tightened...braces hurt a LOT.
Eat cold foods/soft foods. Do not eat something crunchy!! Swish your mouth out with warm water. Take painkillers like Tylenol. Put ice packs on the sides of your face.
Good luck! Just remember you'll have a beautiful smile after it's all done! Happy birthday! |

i had braces, i know how painful they are.
they will hurt for a few days until your teeth have been moved to where the brace has been tightened to, and then they will be tightened again until they are in the right place.
i used to take some ibuprofen or paracetamol, your teeth will still feel tight, but the pain won't be as bad.
try not to eat hard chewy foods, i used to eat ice cream, cereal and yoghurts, a good excuse to have dessert for dinner!
just think about when you have them taken off and you have nice straight teeth :)
EDIT** also as emily says, take some pain killers before your appointments, it will help the pain each time they are tightened.
p.s they hurt loads more when they have just been tightened and then the pain will die down, and you will be ok.
Happy Birthday for tomorrow :) |
