Braces Hurting really bad?
Question:
Answers:
Im about to get mine off tomorrow so i went through 2 years of the exact same pain you are in. Advil is your best friend just take 2 every 8 hours and try eating smoothies (they are good and easy to eat when your in pain). Just think how pretty your teeth will be when your times up and how the pains worth it!It will probably only hurt for like 4 days after being tightented (mine did anyways)
they hurt because you got them adjusted and everything. i hate to say but you are just going to have to take some ibuprofin and let it pass. everyone goes through it, it sucks.
try using wax, or taking advil, asprin, or tylenol. taking a hot bath, or distracting yourself in some way, helps, too.
Eat yoghurts. Whenever I had my braces tigthened I used to feel like I wanted to pull all my teeth out. Yoghurt is brilliant. Ice cream is also quite good. Pop it in the microwave for about 5-10 seconds so it's quite soft (but still nice and cold) and it will kinda numb it. Don't eat anything hard like chocolate (sniff), crisps, apples etc. Hang in there, it will go away after a while, hope this helps xo
there's not much you can do except for take lots of pain meds and if you'll eat something hot or cold ( ex. mashed potatos & gravy or a milkshake ) it will give you relief for just a while
trust me i've had braces & i've tried everything and there's nothing you can do, good luck & hope i helped =]
