Answers:
Try rubbing some orajel or some dental wax on your brackets and gums. This will significantly reduce the pain and swelling. Your mouth is practically numb so you can't feel one thing! also, don't try chewing any food back there, bad idea. Have some soft foods for now like apple sauce, pudding, soup, and maybe a well cut up sandwich. (I always recommend this, just so you can get a nice and full tummy.)

Ask your orthodontist for an "ortho wax". its a medical grade silicone that you apply on the brackets to prevent friction against the cheek mucosa. By the way, it SHOULD be included in your Orthodontic personal hygiene kit. I give them to my new orthodontic patients.
