Pain with separators/spacers and what to expect with braces!?!

Just 2 days ao i got the tiny rubber bands (Spacers/separators) between my teeth and the kill!!!!!!!!!! i have tried panadol and it doesn't work and i feel like i can't eat or chew cos they hurt so much. How can i relieve this pain and i was also wondering what to expect with braces including the procedure and day to day looking after. Some help would be much appreciated.Health Question & Answer

aww i'm sorry :(
i had spacers and braces and to tell you the truth, i thought the spacers hurt more because the pain lasted longer.
the braces will hurt for a week at the MOST, but after about 2 days most of the pain goes away. and i wouldnt even say it hurts to get them tightened really. it's just uncomfortable for a little bit. i just used ibuprofen and aspirin and i made it haha.
the only thing that really hurt me the most was the day after i got the braces on and they didnt glue one of the brackets on so i was brushing my teeth and it fell off so i had to go back and my teeth were still really sore and they pulled SO hard on my bottom teeth (which hurt more than the top, FYI) to take the wire out and redo them all. that was the worst. haha i don't mean to scare you, just make sure they get them ALL on. your teeth won't really hurt during the procedure, it's about 2 hours later when they start to hurt.
i would say buy some pudding and jello and soup because you won't be able to chew much for a couple days. but it is SO worth it! i have my braces off now and my teeth are GORGEOUS. but good luck! it sucks now, but it definately pays off! :)Health Question & Answer

i have had braces for about 1 1/2yrs now and i can still remember the first day i got them on. One the first day they don't really hurt (i ate pizza!) but first the first week it kills! I recommend eating baby food. Its filling and they are almost always on special. Soft bread rolls are good as well. Your orthodontist will probably tell you to clean your teeth 3 times daily for between 5-10 minutes. I only clean mine twice for about 5 minutes. If you notice your teeth are getting yellow brush them for a bit longer. also take something more powerful than panadol like dimeatapp. Hope i helped you <3 groovy_surf_chic99Health Question & Answer

use strong stuff... stronger than panadol. the braces hurt more normally, depending on the crookedness of your teeth. my teeth bent in and were totally out of place... they hurt like hell for 3 days, then you get over itHealth Question & Answer

the spacers hurt more than the braces in my experience. braces hurt a bit straight after you get them tightened but otherwise its ok.Health Question & Answer

You can expect boys to stop paying any attention to you what so ever for one. And for 2 I never had braces, my family did not inbreed. Health Question & Answer
