Question

I have braces and I cant eat properly!!!HELP!!!!?

Answer 1

How long have you had them? there going to be uncomfortable at first

Answer 2

they're just sore cuz you probably just got them...it will get easier as you get used to them...i ate a lot of spaghetti o's, soups, ice cream, you know, things that dont need a lot of chewing, but when the pain goes away, i always had to eat things like sandwiches, cheeseburgers, hot dogs by breaking off pieces instead of biting them, because stuff WILL get stuck in them, and you'll have to brush your teeth to get it out

Answer 3

I usually only had soup after they tightened the wires...starved for days T_T

Some people are less sensitive and can actually chew, but I still suggest soups of all kinds.

Answer 4

it goes away after a week. i serisouly got mine like last monday and now i can eat fine, but before omg it was sucky

Answer 5

I know its hard at first, but its gets easier...Try eating soft food like bread and fruit. :D

Answer 6

There's not much you can do besides putting wax on your braces.  I had them for about 3 years... just got used to them after a while.

Answer 7

If you just got them stick with soft food.  You will get used to them in time.

Answer 8

go to the dentist

Answer 9

if it hurts take aspirin.

if it just hurts when u eat then eat popsicles or soup

andd if they pokin u in the back of ur gums then put wax on them

and if they hurt still then call ur orthodonist

Answer 10

I went through the same problems when i first got my braces on.  I had major sores from the metal rubbing against my lips and pain from my teeth starting to move.  If these are the same problems you are having i suggest making yourself a smoothie you can drink through a straw.  Try adding fresh fruit like a banana or peaches, also add milk and yogurt for protein, (I also like to add bran buds and even spinach). This way you can get all your food groups into one shake.  Also foods like apples and carrots are hard to eat whole i suggest cutting them up into bite sized pieces.  Also foods like apples sauce, yogurt, and even soft bread work too!!  Hope this helps, I promise you it will be worth it in the end, I absolutely LOVE the way my teeth look now!!

Answer 14

if uve had ur braces for more than a month talk to ur orthodontist about it h**l help

Answer 15

Well, if you got them recently, they are going to be sore for two to three days. I suggest taking ibuprofen. If you mean the food getting stuck in your teeth, carry a toothbrush and visit the restroom after eating. I suggest avoiding foods like corn on the cob, raw apples, sticky/chewy candies, jawbreakers, and gum. Sorry but you're going to have to live with it for a while.

Answer 16

ok this is wut i did, eat soups, and easy to chew things, for the 1st week, the you get used to it

ex. soup, maybe fries, pop sickles, cereal, things like that, and like also string cheese, and ice cream.

hope i helped!!

p.s. your lucky, the day after i got braces, we flew to Acapulco Mexico, for our vacation! it was so hard on the plane, and restaurants because i barely could find things to eat, but i got used to it after a couple of days!

Answer 17

just be patient and eat soft things like soup ice cream or things like that...

Answer 18

If You Just Got Them, It'll Hurt For About a Week or Two, Depends On The Person Im Guessing, You Need To Chop Your Food In Smaller Sizes & Avoid Chewing Sticky & Hard Things. According To The Orthodontics, Your Never Supposed To Eat Any Sticky or Hard Foods, But Later You Get Used To Them & You'll Wind Up Eating Whatever You Want =]

Answer 19

Answer 20

Answer 21
