HELPPPPPPPP

Answer 1

Soup, yogurt, oatmeal, apple sauce, smoothies, mashed potatoes, jello, pudding, ICE CREAM!

You can also cook up some veggies to make them soft. If your teeth are really bothering you, take some aspirin! Believe me, after a couple days it gets better and you can get back to eating the foods you did before.

Good luck sweetie! :]

Answer 2

take some ibuprofen over the next couple of days to help alleviate the pain.

yogurt and other cool, soft foods can help soothe the soreness.

if you start to get sores in your mouth do a warm salt water rinse several times a day to help them heal quicker.

you'll get used to it in time. focus on how gorgeous your teeth are going to look afterwards!

Answer 3

ice cream

Answer 7

Answer 8

eat foods like yogurt, ice cream, etc. foods that dont talke chewing. for pain, you could take an asprin, just ask your mom/ dad how many. also, if its scraping your gums, make sure to use the wax they give you there. the pain should be gone in a few days or so...

Answer 9

Oh I remember the pain. Make sure you take some sort of pain reliever. It won't fully take away your pain but I promise it helps. I tried to eat things like pasta and fruit because face it you aren't gonna sit around eating pudding and applesauce like everyone tells you too. They only hurt for a few days and then they feel fine. When you go back for you monthly tightening make sure to take a pain reliever before your appointment because each time you get adjustments they will hurt for a few days. You will get used to it. and the end result is worth it all I promise!

Answer 10

you could put orajel on your gums to numb them.

but i just ate and sucked it up. i know it really hurts but after a day or two it wont anymore. eat soft things like pudding, yogurt, soup, rice, noodles... i hope your teeth feel better =[

Answer 11

Hello,

I know what you were going through! I had braces for 2 years!

Okay first take Tylenol, Advil, or Motrin this will ease the pain!

Eat soft foods like oatmeal, pasta, and pudding!

The pain will stay for a couple of days!

Answer 13

Dont' make me remeber the first day of braces!!! NOOOOOOOOO!

Anyways, take a pain medicine, i suggest taking the liquid pain medicine since it works faster. On my first day, i couldn't eat s**** and i was soo hungary. Try eating the softest stuff you can find until the pain eases up a bit.

Answer 14

It will hurt for a few days, but it slowly wears off after about a week. Eat soup and soft stuff. Trust me it's worth it in the end!
