Braces rubber bands help please???

Question

my braces hurt like really really really bad um i just got rubber bands today does it get worse any ways to stop the pain ( it hurts worst to take them off

Answer 1

they won't get worse and they will stop hurting after a few days.  take some ibuprofen to dull the pain, but don't count on eating any crunchy foods for the next couple days.  just make sure you wear the rubber bands constantly so that your teeth can get used to them and move in the direction the rubber bands are pulling them.  If you don't wear them constantly then it will always hurt when you put them in because your teeth will have moved back in the opposite direction

Answer 2

Braces always hurt for a little while it will go away in a few days I'm sure.

Answer 3
