Answer 2

not much after advil and tylenol just hang in their try eating soft foods only for the first 3 days the pain goes away eventually  good luck :)

Answer 3

Unfortunately the pain is a side effect of the treatment.  Braces work to change the alignment of your teeth, and move how your teeth are positioned in your jaw bone.  Whenever you have adjustments, your teeth are going to hurt.

Stick to the tylenol or advil, whichever works better.  Try to stay away from foods you need to chew.  Back when I had braces I had the same problem, and before I went to the Orthodontist, I stocked up on yogurt, soup, and popcicles.  Sometimes holding ice water in your mouth helps, too.

The pain will subside, and eventually you will have beautifully straight teeth.

Answer 4

gah.

sorry to say this, but tomorrows going to be worse. 3rd day is also pretty bad. you just feel like ripping them off your teeth, right?

keep continuing to take tylenol, and eat ice cream or applesauce. thats what i did and eventually the pain went away.
