You're going to feel a lot of pressure on your teeth for a week or so. Try taking some ibuprofen. It's an anti-inflamatory and will keep your gums from swelling up and causing pain. also try eating some ice chips. If you are having pain on your lips or inside of your cheeks, try getting some wax to cover the sharp parts of your braces. Good luck!Health Question & Answer

Take advil and take naps. Did that for me and it helped. I had the pallet expander or whatever AND braces, so..... that was a killer! Noodles and mashed potatoes and very soft food is your best friend for the month. After 3-5 days you'll feel it worse.

Just avoid ice. I never broke mine, but never know!Health Question & Answer
