Question

I just got braces any ideas to help the pain go away?

Answer 1

Take an advil or asprin or tylenal. Any pain reliever like that should help. Also, don't try to eat hard foods at all. Stick to soups, mashed potatoes, applesauce etc. Good luck! The pain will stop soon.

Answer 3

ermm..i had braces too..and i wore them for around 1 and half years....to be honest..it really didn't give me any pain at all. first few days i had bit of irritation, uncomfortable and slight pain. This is because your braces are new (foreign) object in our mouth so it will take few days to get used to and trust me after few days you will feel so normal as in you won't feel as if you are wearing braces . you will feel as part of your teeth. This is all from my personal experience. Also if you have pain now, then take some painkillers like paracetamol. If your pain is unbearable which at times can be, then take stronger painkiller like paracetamol and codeine together. If you have swellings then take ibuprofen which is anti-inflammatory and will help reduce the swelling.

hope it helps.
