BRACES!!!

They will hurt at first, they do for about a week, then they will settle down, just take some pain killers and grin and bare it, it will go away. When they are new it just takes your teeth time to get used to them and settle, dont forget that it is there to pull your teeth from one position to another so it is going to be sore when they are first pulled.

Aww my friend went through this  , she took something jellyish i think or i might be imagining it lmao to make her mouth hurt less? or thats what she said anyway.i think. lol.
eat soup.

You will get used to it in about a week, thats normal, especially since you just got them on. Just take 2 advil, and it should help. I promise you will get used to it, and it wont always hurt like that.

Paracetomols to sooth. It's strange, mine didn't hurt as I was told it would. Always remember to keep thinking about how perfect your teeth will be after!

when i had my brace on it hurt so much but just keep on taking paracetamol and it should settle and sort its self out then you will barely notice its there.

woho i have one of them, well i think its the same.. i have to have it for the rest of my living days.
your teeth will need time to get used them

I was 20 when I got them for the second time.  For some reason I found that the guys really liked them.  No idea why, I thought they were awful...

But I would take advil right before having them adjusted and take more advil as needed. Advil and wax.  And if you really talk to your doctor and have everything adjusted just right- you won't need the wax.

Best of luck and wear your retainer!

I get mine off in about seven weeks I'm so happy but the downside is my holiday is in four weeks so I can't get them off for that. Too bad but I'm still happy enough.

I got clip-on ones for a over bite like these:

I wore then from about July last year to December last year.

Then I got "train-tracks" on December 14th last year (I still remember the exact date LOL). I'm away to get them off on the 16th of October. At the momment I have to wear elastic bands (elastics) on one side.

If anybody has any questions about braces feel free to personal message me and I'll try my best to answer your question(s).
