Answer 1

It depends on what is actually sore.

Are your teeth sore and feel like they are being pulled? Because apart from pain killers, there is nothing that you can really do about that.

If the brackets are rubbing against your mouth, then you can try to use "magic wax", which the orthodontist should have provided you with (it will prevent the brackets from irritating your mouth).

Answer 4

**What I'd suggest is to gargle some warm salty water.  

Other than taking pain killers though, there isn't much that is going to help you at the moment.

Chances are your mouth will be sore for a few days, you'll probably experience some difficulty when eating because it means food is touching your teeth which will probably cause you some pain.

If I was you, I'd have plenty of soup.

Good luck with it all mate, I had braces when I was younger so I understand the pain that you're going through.  

One last thing - if people tell you that 'it doesn't hurt' or that you're 'complaining over nothing' etc, don't listen to them!!!**
