Help please!?
Question:
Answers:
ok i had braces and still have them.
1. get wax and put it on the spots were it hurts.
2. eat only soft foods like noodles so you don't have to chew things.
3. take something like motrin or tylenol...(pain medicine)
4. after this things should feel a little better, i mean braces are going to hurt but if things don't lighten up go back to the orthidontist and ask them if something is wrong.
Motrin
It hurts because its moving your teeth.It is essentially like a piece of popcorn between your teeth so it is going to feel just as annoying. It is creating a space so they can put on your bands most likely. The only thing you can do is take an Advil or equivalent and try to leave it alone. If you take it out, you will close the gap they are trying to create and you will be back as square one (along with an annoyed orthodontist!!)
