I know how you feel. I got braces this summer and i couldnt eat anything hard for two weeks. You can only eat soft foods like soup, jello, stuff you eat when your sick. Its gonna suck, but think about what your teeth will look like when you get them off!

Everytime you go to the orthodontist to have the braces tightened, they will hurt for a few days. Using the little rubber bands will cause the braces to hurt. The pain can be pretty bad for 48 to 72 hours, and then gets much better.

well theres nothin you can do about it but just deal with it. it will only last for a week then you can show off your beautiful stright teeth. or you but these wax things for your mouth where the braces are hurting in your local supermarket.

I remember getting them for the first time. They hurt SO BAD! I took extra strength Advil. Not Tylenol. Advil is Ibprofen (sp?)

Mouth pain is the worst. It won't hurt forever. Take a tylenol or advil, it might help.

eat ice cream and slurpees for the first week or two. If you eat solid foods, you'll feel like you broke your jaw, it happened to me and it hurt soooo much.
You get used to them after a while, hopefully you don't have em for too long.

Get used to it, because it will suck for a while! You can take some advils or put wax on your teeth.
