New braces hurt really bad

ok I just got my braces today too and THEY HURT all I ahed today was cereal(befro ig to em) and for lunch a yop and apple sause try somehting soft(obviusly) like mashed poatos, soup,maybe rice

hope this helps GO APPLE SAUSE

I went through it too but I’m glad I did, my teeth are straighter and even whiter than ever.

For food I lived on icecream (if its to cold warm it up), warm soup, apple sauce, jello, cereal like RIce Krispies, fruit cups, crackers (soda crackers work well), soft bakery goods (bread,arrowroot cookies,cakes, etc.), rice, fruits, soft veggies (tomatoes,corn), mccain french fry hashbrowns and choclate bars and gummies.

Once you can chew a little noodles and cutting up meals really tiny will suffice.

When you are not eating use lots of wax and Orajel (it nums the pain).

I don’t have braces, but two of my friends do. They told me for the first week or two, it hurts really bad, but it will get better. They told me they couldn’t have soda, gum, gummies, or anything that could possibly stick to their teeth. Some things they ate were soup, apple sauce, fruit cups, corn, noodles, and sometimes ice cream, but not often. And like the people above me said, keep wax with you. My friend has been in the situation when she didnt have it…she was almost in tears one time. haha

Even though I barely told you anything, hope I somewhat helped. lol

Keep plenty of wax around because Braces will cut your mouth up at times. There is really nothing you can do for the hurting as it will go away in a few days to a week. I know they will hurt because I too had them and then everytime you go in to get the bands change they will be sore all over again or at least mine were. Good Luck! Eat soft stuff at first if you must. They say don’t chew gum and eat popcorn as well but I did all of that and it didn’t bother mine. :)

when I had braces about 3 years ago, they cut so badly in2 my gums I have scars in my mouth wich I didnt think was possible I still have a hole in my mouth with a huge flap of skin where the braces cut in 2 me its healed now obviously but, the dentist people gave me sum wax stuff that I put on 2 the metal wer it was cuting me, it worked for all of 5 mins an then flaked off, in the end the dentist people had 2 take them off because I started 2 get really bad ulcers an my mouth was constantly bleeding an I started 2 get infections oter than the waxey stuff I have no idea sorry xx

I feel for you. Braces SUCK. But unfortunately, all you can do is wait it out. after a few days they stop hurting. What your really need to do is stop thinking about them. The more you think about the pain, the more it hurts.

Uhmm. I have braces and sucking on an ice cube works pretty well.

I’ve had braces for almost 2 years and they hurt for about a week. You can just eat like soup, pudding, bread, and stuff like that. There’s not really all that much you can do for the pain. Maybe you can take some tylenol or advil, that’s what I did. Trust me, soon it’ll feel like you’re not even wearing them.

I have the deep cuts in my gums. Will they heal when my braces my removed? I did wear the wax but at night time and when I woke up, it was disguisting and I stopped wearing it. I also had problem with my speech wearing the wax and it looked like my bottom jaw had bulged out so I removed the wax. My orthodontist knows but all he has done was continue with treatment and put a long bracket thing along my bottom jaw which stops some of the pain but not very much of it. Well, I’m used to the pain by now! It doesn’t feel painful anymore.

So my question is will the deep cuts heal after my braces have been removed or will the flap of skin always be there for the rest of my life?

hey I had braces for 3 years.. keep wax on your person at alll times lol.. as corny as it sounds you’ll have wax emergncies and you’ll need it. as for the pain, like they said it’ll go away in less than a week. But right now stick to foods with little or no chewing. I.E soup, ice cream, really soft bread, stuff like that wont hurt as bad.. hold on it’ll get better:)

new braces do hurt like hell, trust me I’ve been there. you’ll get used to the pain in a few days,so try not to worry too much about it. just take some advil and eat jello. that’s what I did.

Well obviously don’t eat anything that can get stuck in your braces. And my cousin had braces, she told me never eat super hot food with them. And other then that I don’t know. Sorry. =[

thanks soo much

I have emm but keep em clean and use bongella thats what I do it might sting but it helps

I have no idea. But didn’t you Orthodontist (sp?) tell you?
