How do I get my braces to not hurt?

Question

I just got braces, and they HURT! Any ideas?

Answer 1

I got braces 2 years ago, and still have them. U can try eating porridge or some thing that is soft. If u think u really can't go to sleep at night then just have tylenol. Ohh and after a few days you'll get use to it and it won't hurt as much as it did.

Answer 2

I just got them yesterday lol...yeahh my teeth ache alott! I cant chew anything!! But i found that sucking on ice pops soothe my mouth and everything...tylenol really isnt dong anything for me...my friend says the acheing of the teeth goes away in 3 days of having them...im waiting!! were in this together haahaa! Feel better!!

Answer 3

Use some pain killers and it'll go in a few days. Eating ice-cream or something will help sooth them

Answer 4

ibuprofen, tylenol,or advil. that might help

Answer 5

The pain will go away before you know it! Until then, eat soft foods and if you fill your mouth with air and puff out your cheeks it helps cuts and pain for a second or two at least :)

Answer 6

you could do somthing like drink lemon juice or somtin more annoying.....but otherwise take a motrin or tylenol or somtin

Answer 7

Ice packs on  your face and take ibuprofen. It will ease off in about a day or two. Hang in there the results of having braces are worth it.
