Question: Just got my braces tightened... THEY'RE F*CKING KILLING ME! Please help!.?
So yeah... I've had my braces for about a year and a half now... I just got them tightened for the first time. And I know what to do to kill the pain but this time it isn't working! I tried chewing gum, I'm taking Ibprofen every 6 hours. NOTHINGS HELPING!!!!! My teeth are too sore to even talk! I've never felt braces pain like this before! I've been eating soup and stuff so that I don't have to chew and kill my mouth. Does anyone have a method that actually WORKS that can take away the pain from my braces.? Oh and I got the kind of rubber bands that are connected. Ok thanks bye! =PHealth Question & Answer
Answers:
If it makes you feel better, I am also in horrible pain from getting my braces tightened. I even have a horrible headache to go with it. I can't reallly chew or talk either. The rubber bands that are connected sounds like a power chain. Those hurt like a mother. Mine is killing me.
What really helps me is drinking cold water or just leave an ice cube in the mouth so that it kinda numbs the mouth. I hate orajel so I don't even use that.
The thing to remember is that it will hurt for about a week and then it will kinda fade away until your next appt. Then all this torture starts all over again.
Good luck.Health Question & Answer

I've worn braces before and they were HORRIBLE! My dentist told me to always drink milk and asked me to take little calcium tablets or something like that. You teeth may be weak and so it needs calcium. And also try to focus on other things to help the pain go away!
I dunno if this helps but good luck anyways! :)Health Question & Answer
