i used to have braces.... they suck.. when my teeth hurt i would always either eat a popsicle and actually chew pieces slowly or brush my teeth.. the popsicle is cold and biting down relieves some pressure, and the toothbrush and toothpaste feel soothing.. i hope this helps you and i hope you feel better soon! oh yeah and when you get your braces off and brush your teeth for the first time its gonna be awesome! wiggle your lips over your teeth, they feel slimy but amazing!! :)Health Question & Answer
Everyone has to go through this painful process.. Your teeth is being straightened and aligned into the correct position.. I'd say not to touch your teeth or think too much about it and eventually you WILL be able to tolerate the pain..
If you need to sleep, take some sleeping pills!

take an anti-inflammatory pain medicine like advil or motrin as directed for a day or so.. if you are ok to take this type of medicine.. next time before you go in, like the morning of your next appointment start taking it so it'll be in your system already and eat your big 'last meal'........ you'll find out soon enough!

luckily i've never had braces but i have heard that pain is normal but it seems that you are experiencing extreme pain take it up with your dentist obviously maybe ask him to tight it in less increments so your pain is less bearable Health Question & Answer
