I got braces two months ago.. Being of advanced age for braces, I'm 53, they really hurt.. I used Motrin for the pain the first week and lots and lots of dental wax on the braces themselves till the gums and lips toughened up enough that I didn't feel like I had razors on my teeth..
Avoid heavy chewing.. Have protein shakes and creamy soups for awhile..
The good news for me, it hurt too much to eat, so I lost 12 pounds.. I only need to lose 12 more and I'll be a size 10 again.. : ) Since I can't eat half the things I like, it should be easy..
It really will get better soon..

When I first got my braces or when I got them tightened, I would wet a washcloth with warm water, ring it out and bite on it.. It really does help.. Good luck..Health Question & Answer
I used to eat a lot of ice cream, but there's nothing that will make the pain go away entirely.. But that should help a little.. Health Question & Answer
