any suggestions on what kind of painpillers i can take to help ease the pain of braces?

i've had braces for a while..but everytime i go back to see the orthodontist, the pain is unbearable! i've tried tylenol, ibuprofen (sp), and just generic pain relievers. what would be the best medicine to take?

how do i deal with mouth ulcer?

Answers:
I remember the pain well. Try calling your personal doctor and ask if there is something he could do such as prescribing something for you, if it's that bad. Try your orthodontist. They are doctors too. They could prescribe pain meds, but they try to stay away from it. Maybe your doctor would prescribe though. It can't hurt to ask. Try more ibuprofen then is suggested on the bottle if they don't prescribe something for you. When I'm in bad pain, I take 2-3 ibuprofens. Good luck!

Gotot the regular doctor and complain of back pain and you will get some real pain killers like vicodins or even something not as strong like ultra cets will work.My braces were unbearable too.nothing OTC worked.I used my moms pain meds like darvocet.. If you still are looking for OTC try aleve or advil.

Questions about plaque?

You shouldnt take anything stronger than 2 tylenols or ibuprofens. you really do just need to withstand it.it's not going to help your body when you get them removed or cavities filled or such.you wont be able to access pain killers all the time and right now, you'll have pain for a long time.
