Is there a way to get rid of the soreness from my braces?

Question

Hi guys, I just got my braces on this morning. It's been hurting A LOT. I know that this is normal, especially since I just go them; but is there a way to get rid of the soreness from my braces or at least get it less painful?

And when does it start stopping to hurt?

Answer 4

Take advil or motrin or something to help relieve pain. When I got my braces I got a washcloth and put warm water on it and bit down on it and surprisingly it helped. It depends on how much you're teeth are moving. If they are really crooked or very spaced out then it might be painful for about a week and a half. If your teeth aren't all that bad then it should'nt take that long for them to stop hurting. It will probably take about 4-5 days 7 days max.

Hope I helped.=)

Answer 5

take tylenol or Advil for it. You could get some Orajel or anbesol and put it on your gums, that will numb it. You could also hold ice to your teeth, and if they hurt really bad, only eat soft foods for a couple days. I know what it feels like, and it stinks i know. But it will all pay off in the end. The pain will subside in about 2-3 days. Good luck.
