I had my braces tightened yesterday and i am in pain?!
Question: I had my braces tightened yesterday and i am in pain.?
They also put on a power chain to move my teeth over to where my other teeth were pulled. I woke up at 3am this morning and i couldn't go back to sleep till 5am. It is hurting bad. And this is probably normal. But what foods and stuff can i eat besides the obvious macaroni & cheese and mashed potatoes. And how long will i be in pain for.? Because this is the first time i have had a power chain on. I have had my braces since August 25th. But since my last appointment i have been having to wear rubber bands to pull my teeth down which i can't even put on at the moment.Health Question & Answer

My sister ( she's in her 30's, so she's smart) told me to take Ibuprofen then a couple hours later to take a different medication like tylenol. She said they won't enter react, and will both help with pain. About a seek ago I got my braces tightened. I took 400mg of Ibuprofen before I went, then the first moment I felt pain I took a tylenol. I had NO pain from then on! I had extra crunchy fried chicken and toast for dinner that night! So it really helped me, I didn't have to use orajel once. If you can't sleep, I take a benadrill. I have allergies any way, and it makes all my family sleepy. It could work.? I hope this helps! I have to get mine adjusted again in about 3 weeks! I dread it cuz I think I have to get a thicker wire. Have a good day! I hope your hair turns out good.Health Question & Answer
Try asking your parents if you can take some Advil or Motrin at a 400-600mg dose every 6 hours. This will help to alleviate the discomfort and reduce the swelling and inflammation that you are experiencing right now. Give your self a few days and things will get back to normal. Eat soft foods such as eggs, yogurt, smoothies, pasta, oatmeal, soups and ice cream. The colder foods will also help to reduce your discomfort by numbing your mouth and deactivating the wire temporarily. Try to relax and be patient, this will happen several times during your treatment so keep the Motrin handy. Health Question & Answer
In my case, the pain was too strong up to three days after the tightening. And that was uncomfortable until the third month. About four months after, I got my braces tightened without uncomfortableness.Health Question & Answer
