My mouth hurts so bad i just got braces and i cnt eat?

Question

im 13 and i got braces yesterday and i cant eat!!! i cant bite down with my back molars, it hurts to bad and im allergic to ibuprofen so i cant use that to reduce the pain help me pleez what worked for u to eat when u first got braces?

Answer 1

Eat ice cream!  Seriously....the coldness of it will help you feel better.

If you can't take ibuprofen, then try tylenol

Answer 2

I recommend soup, that is what I did.  I know it sucks, but remember that the pain will go away.

Answer 3

I used to eat baked potatoes a lot when I had braces. Just try eating soft foods until the pain goes away. Try eating foods like soup, chili, pot pies, yogurt, ice cream, mashed or baked potatoes and spaghetti. The pain should ease in about a week.

Answer 4

hey, i just got my braces off, oraljel works it like numbs your mouth, maye tylanol? Umm eat soft foods like pasta and chew with your front teeth for the next few days. it took me 5-7 days to get back to normal.

Answer 5

Yuck, I remember braces lol. I ate nothing but tomato soup, yogurt, and spaghetti for two weeks. Think of some soft foods that you like or ways to soften your favorites. For example, if you like fruit, then make some smoothies! Unfortunately, your teeth are going to hurt like this for at least a week, probably more. Also unfortunately, your teeth are going to hurt for a day or so after each tightening.

Good luck!

Answer 6

i got braces when i was in the first grade.  my mouth hurt as well for the first couple of days.  if you are allergic to ibuprofen, look into taking aspirin or another pain pill to ease the pain.  i asked pretty much for a liquid diet for a few days just because i couldn't chew.   i know it's not pleasant, but it works.  baby food helps too since you can't chew.

Answer 7

When i first got my braces i suffered too!

But i ate mashed potato! Lots of it!

A bonus point was that i couldn't bite my nails when i had fixed appliances-they grew nicely and looked great! :)

Answer 8
