My braces hurt really bad?

Question

I just got my braces today, and it hurts.

I took some Tylenol when I first got it, and it worked..

Then a couple of hours later, its in mild pain.

They said I could eat yogurt, but is parfait good?

It hurts :[

What foods do you highly reccomend?

Answer 1

i hated my braces!

eat soup,soft pasta,jello and other soft food

hope they feel better!

the pain will go away in 2-3 days

Answer 2

Advil every 5 hours. It will get better. Applesauce, soup, spaghetti, scrambled eggs, anything you dont have to chew. every day it will get better. Then you'll go for a appointment and it will hurt again a little.

Answer 3

when i got mine i CRIED!!! soo i ate sup 24/7 for the 1st weeek  

Answer 4

ouch! They told you yogurt prob cause you don't have to chew it. Next time, try some advil, and if it still hurts four hours later take tylenol. Just stagger it like that.

My mom would make some kind of noodles, soup, or other soft foods. And, ice cream helps. I guess it numbs your teeth...  

Answer 5

Yeah, yogurts are good, so is pudding. Basically, eat anything that is soft and doesn't put too much pressure on your teeth.

Answer 6

Try sucking on small pieces of ice (if your teeth aren't sensitive to extreme cold.) The cold will sooth and relieve some of the pain.

I'm not sure if it'll work, but you can try one of those magic sacs. It's a cloth "sac" filled with special beads that you can freeze or heat to relieve pain in certain areas. If you don't have one, you can make a simple one bu filling a sandwich bag with rice, and tossing it in the freezer. You'll be able to form it to your jaw to further alleviate the pain.

You'll most likely be eating soups or easy to eat foods, like pasta, even jello, low-fat ice creams, yogurts, maybe mashed potatoes.

Answer 7

When I first got mine I was yay they don't hurt at all!!! Few hours later they were a bit tender but by that night I was bawling! Lots of yogurt and that cheese and mac from the packet!!! Good luck. Im about to go get mine tightened which I hear is worse :( xoxo  

Answer 8

When I got my braces, I had a lot of smoothies and ice cream type things because the cold felt good on my teeth. Make sure to keep taking appropriate doses of tylenol. & Believe it or not the pain will go away!

Also, you might want to get that GUM orthodontist wax in case you get sores in your mouth, you apply it to the brackets and your mouth has time to heal. (This stuff saved me)

  

Answer 9

seriously... when i got them i couldn't do anything...the pain is always in my mouth but i got so used to it i don't even notice or complain.

BUT right now the pain is probably AWFUL but it will lessen in about a week.

Answer 10

I had some sorness and tenderness when i got mine. i ate soft foods until the pain eased up.

Answer 11

don't worry the pain will do away. the worst for me was the first night sleep b/c i wasn't used to them and i woke up trying to take them out of my mouth half asleep!

they sell a throat spry for sore throats, use that to spray your braces. it numbs them.

for the most part they only hurt for the first few days and when you get the tighten for a couple of days. you'll be so used to them by next week!

i would always eat apple sauce and cottage cheese!
