Answer 1

Take an advil and put lots of wax on the bottom braces.

Answer 2

MY SISTER GOT BRACES AND FOR DINNER SHE ATE ICE CREAM!

Answer 3

The wax they provide

Paracetamol

Sleep

I have had braces for over a year and trust me the pain doesn't last as long [if any pain] after a few tightens. You get used to the pain after a while. Hope you ok :)

Answer 4

i feel your pain:literally

i have braces too

but to be honest after a while your teeth dont hurt as much, like 3-4 tightenings (it really depends on how bad your teeth are)

my advice:take pain relievers during day and pm pain relievers at night(so you can sleep)

your braces may also catch on your lip...but the wax stuff doesnt stick well enough.-so eat bread,it sticks better

and if it starts to catch after you get adjusted-make sure to ask them if they can cut/bend wires(like in the back or near canines)

ps:dont worry, you can still chew gum-just dont get it on the sides

Answer 5

Wax is only if the braces are rubbing against the inside of your mouth our something is poking you. Sorry but you're just gonna have to wait it out. In the end it will all be worth it.

Answer 6

I had an adult co worker that kept saying her braces hurt she went back to the dentist and he told her they should not hurt and he loosened them or something If you are having a lot of pain check back with your doc. he may be able to help they may be moving faster than expected.
