My braces are killing me?

Question

Okay i got my braces on yesterday. Just the top and bottom front braces. Well they gave me wax to use but not a lot of it so my aunt told me to use it carefully and wisely. And my teeth hurt so bad i can't bite down. I think they tightened one tooth to hard because it hurts so bad even when i am not touching it. I have 3 blisters in my mouth and they keep getting cut from the braces. What can i do? Because i am really in pain. Plus i have a sore throat

Answer 1

i remember when i first got braces

put the wax on the part of the braces thats rubbing against your cheek and causing blisters

other than that, the pain is gonna be there for at least one more day but after that you'll be fine

and don't eating anything that requires chewing. stick to like soups and stuff like that

Answer 2

ew take medicine put wax that you have on or something in your mouth like that and just go to sleep and try not to think about it.

Answer 3

You should tell your orthodontist immediately. If it really hurts then your orthodontist may have made a mistake and tightened it too much. You should make an appointment right away to fix your problem so it won't get worse.

Hope I helped :]

Answer 4

Take two ib prophen and relax... nothing is too tight that is totally normal to hurt like that.. Try some mashed potatoes and just rest in a week or less things will get better :)

Answer 5

When I got my braces on (at the time just the front teeth) they didn't hurt at all... But when I got the rest on it hurt a little. I've never gotten blisters or anything, and I've hardly had to use wax (in three years). Well, actually there was a time that my braces irritated my lip. I put a mouth piece in to keep them from touching. But as far as biting down, that always hurt when you get a new wire. I hate new wires. I find it easiest just to chew even though it hurts so that the wire changes shape to fit you. If that makes any sense... When I got the thing that holds the braces on my very back teeth, that hurt. I had a softball tournament over spring break and I had to deal with the pain for 2 weeks. That's the longest they've ever hurt for me. Personally, I don't like wax too much, but I'll use it every once in a while. I hope they don't hurt too bad.  :)

P.S. You can go back any time to get your braces fixed. You don't have to wait until your next appointment.

Answer 6

get more wax

Answer 7

you dont have to use the wax wisely, the ortho will give you more on your next appointment. and the wax falls off easily. not a good choice.

   if the brackets are rubbing against the inside of your cheek, use teething medication. its over the counter, and numbs the spot well.

   and i would really avoid eating beef and hard meat. during the first week, soup and applesauce is the best. liquedy foods. or really soft food.    if your teeth just ache, try not to think about it, and DON'T bite down really fast and hard. it HURTS!!!!!!
