I went to the orthodontist today...?
..and I got rubber bands attached to my braces and they pull back my front-top teeth and they hurt like hell. How do I get rid of the pain without taking them out (I already took 2 advil and I have been eating soft foods)- I have gotten them on before, but I always take them off after the fourth day of hurting...I can't take it!
Please...help me stop suffering with this!
Sorry, but it'll hurt for a short time while your teeth get use to it. I wore rubber bands on the last months when I had braces. It hurt but don't take them off or they'll hurt again when you put them back on. Don't know how old you are but go to the drugstore and ask the pharmacist what the recommend. Ibuprophen (spell?), tylenol, or motrin always works for me. But best to ask. Hang in there! =)

they will stop hurting after a few days. If you take them off you are making the braces useless. Ask your orthodontist if he can give you slightly larger rubber bands, they will put less pressure on your teeth and thus hurt less. They will take longer however to straighten your teeth. Also in the mean time try some orajel on your gums.

You will get used to them. Just make sure you continue to wear them so that your teeth will move. The more you wear them, the faster your teeth will move so just keep that in mind. If it is really bothering you see if they can possibly give you a lighter size rubber band to start off and then as you get used to that you can go back to the stronger size. Good luck!

take one Tylenol T3
moo cow
I had rubberbands...and they do hurt...ALOT! All I can say is they will get better with time( imagine having them when you were 5 1/2)

You sound like me. When I had braces mine hurt a lot but, sadly I think the only thing you can do is take advil/tylonal etc. You eventually get used to them though it usually takes a couple days.

advil should work. and yes they hurt. if you dont take them out after 4 days you can get your braces off sooner, bands are always the end of braces.... so hold up! itll be worth the pain when your teeth are straight

I know how you feel! I had my rubber bands attached last week, and there isn't much you can do, if you drink hot drinks like tea, coffee, or cocoa and also really cold or frozen things, that helps. Don't swallow it right away, just let it sit in your mouth for a while

Swish cold water through your teeth.

Oh my gosh..I hate those dumb things I have to wear them too and I've had them since like January. Mine totally hold my mouth shut to the point where I like cant even talk. so annoying..lol. but really the only way to get rid of the pain is just leave them in there because once they start working and situiating your teeth, the pain goes away. thats why your not supposed to keep taking them on and off and on and off because it just slows down the movement. Hey..I really know how you feel and I can sympathize with you but just hang in there and be tough and eventually the pain will go away and you wont have to wear the dumb things anymore! Hope I helped! Take care :)
