Answer 5

Oh, man. I feel your pain. It'll be a week until you can eat regular food.

I suggest putting wax (ask the orthodonist for some, and try getting a lot) on the places where the braces cut your teeth.

In the meantime, foods like mashed potatoes, spaghetti, ramen (:3), and soup would help.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Your braces will hurt for a few days EVERY... TIME... they are adjusted. You'll get used to it, though.

Answer 7

After I got mine the first time, they hurt for about five days.

It's really normal though because your teeth arent used to having pressure put on them. They'll stop hurting pretty soon, dont worry. I'd just eat soup and noodles until they do(:.

Answer 8

Every single person has pains after they get their braces.

First, it takes about a week and a half for you to fully be able to eat normal foods.  Keep brushing your teeth and try to relax your mouth.  Take some Ibuprofen.

Hope this helps!

Answer 9

When I first got my braces they hurt a lot too. I kept getting cuts on my gums. Your orthodontist should have given you a little package of wax, if he didn't you can pick some up at a drugstore. Put a little bit of wax over the metal bracket that's rubbing against you're gums and then it doesn't hurt anymore.

After a few days of the braces it'll be easier to chew. You just have to wait it out. It's a good excuse to have your parents get you lots of ice cream and milkshakes, so make the most of it.
