Question

I got my braces yesterday and it hurt to chew food last night. Today it hurts too, so i was wondering how much longer will it hurt to chew food? Also, any tips for braces????

Answer 1

The first time you put your braces on, chewing food will hurt for about a week. Then, as you start going to tighten the braces regularly, it will hurt for 2-3 days because you will have gotten used to it.

Answer 2

It took me three weeks before I could really eat soft foods well again and a month to the day of getting my braces on before I could eat cereal again.  I lost a lot of weight and it was not a good thing.  Try drinking slimfast or boost.

Answer 3

first week

1. dont chew on plastic, like pen lids, sos it breaks the brackets.

2. broken wires cut into ur mouth, so if u break a wire, juss go straight to the dentist.

3. make sure u brush each arc a minute every morning and night, or you will get white marks were the brackets used to be, when u get them off.

4. dont be ashamed of braces, cos they can look really cool in photos, bear those teeth!

have fun : P

Answer 6

it will hurt for a few days. try eating mashed potatoes, smoothies and pudding. I lived off of those foods for about a week and a half. you will eventually begin to eat normal again in about two weeks. hang in there!

Answer 7

I&#039;ve had braces for 3 weeks &amp; i got them on a thursday. They hurt friday and it hurt while chewing on saturday. On sunday it just felt a bit tender. And on monday there was no pain at all. So about 4-5 days.

Also REMEMBER to brush your teeth when your supposed to, you don&#039;t want squares on your teeth! lol
