Ice cream and popsicles!
(And yogurt, cottage cheese, apple sauce . . . anything soft should do it.)
Oh, and don't worry: It will stop hurting soon.

Oh, you poor thing. I can't imagine having 8 teeth removed. Rice is not a very good food to eat with braces. Try yogurt, ice cream, soup, or anything soft that doesn't require chewing. Hang in there; you'll feel better soon.

I'm 31 with Braces....and let me tell you, it definitely is hard to adjust to them in the beginning! There is not really alot of things that you can eat. I had to eat Chicken Noodle soup, green beans, or mash potatoes. You mostly just want to eat anything soft...that you like to eat. The good part is....its only going to be tender for a couple weeks. After a while, you will gradually begin to eat your regular food that u like to eat. Good Luck with your braces!

Applesauce, pudding and jello are all good options. You might also try macaroni and cheese or other pasta.
My son's orthodontist also had him take an over the counter pain killer, like tylenol, to help with the pain.
Don't worry, it gets better fast. I think it only bothered him the first day or two after he got his braces and now when he goes and has them tightened they hardly bother him at all.

eat softer foods...breads, bananas, ect. Give your teeth a couple weeks to adjust and you'll be starting to eat solids in no time! you might want to pull the food apart with your hands, then put it in your mouth.
