My spacers are killing me!!

Question

okay, so i go to the dentist today (or yesterday technically) to get braces, then i end up getting 8 spacers on the top and bottom of my mouth. when they were being put in i was cringing up in the chair because it hurt like all h**l. then i fall asleep (i was tired) and i wake up with braces and spacers on. at first it didn't feel like a big deal, i just had a lot less room in my mouth.

so now i'm sitting here at 1:15 in the morning and my mouth hurts so bad i can't even eat. if i even try to touch my teeth together i feel like banging my head into a wall.

i've tried tylenol and aspirin but neither worked. i think i've taken something like 6 tylenol and 3 aspirin and it did me NO GOOD.

advice?

thanks!

Answer 1

You're teeth are being Turned, Pushed and Pulled. So yeah it's gonna hurt a little bit, eating and sleeping will be uncomfortable for a while.

Just try to get some rest, even drink some booze if you have to.

But if the pain is still there within 12 hours, go to your doctor and ask for a strong pain killer.

Answer 2

one word: ANBESOL

Answer 3

It's normal. The pain should be gone in a few days. If you have like Vicodin, that might help.
