ADVIL OR TYLENOL IS GOOD TO USE FOR THOSE TIMES WHEN THE BRACES HURT. DENTAL WAX FROM YOUR ORTHODONTIST OR A PHARMACY CAN HELP YOU WITH THE SORE SPOTS FROM THE BRACKETS/WIRES.

***painkillers are ok if u dont over do it, try getting some liquid bandads(i used this the most) and wax
use ACT mouthwash
then for the first day or 2 ur teeth may be a little sensitive so stick with eating soup, pasta, pudding, jello, beans, yogurt, custard, fries, milkshakes, ice cream, and soft foods-avoid straws
every night use Peroxyl mouthwash for like a week to keep ur gums storng from cuts and use dental wax and rubber coverups so u wont get blisters, they hurt a little but arent that bad. avoid sleeping on ur side, try to keep ur head straight up for a couple of days
every morning and every night use the Peroxyl mouthwash again for 2 weeks then after that just use ACT mouthwash to keep ur teeth and gum s healthy. get some Super floss, made for braces-i sugest elictrical toothbrushes they keep ur mouth cleaner
dont worry-trust me- i have had my braces on for almost 4 years, i just got em off about two months ago-i luv my new smile!!!
