Answers:
Sweety, unfortunately that is just the way it's going to be for the next few days. It's horrible, because you just can't make it stop, but think about it: The braces are there to get your teeth to be placed evenly in your mouth. So they need to change their natural position, and to achieve that, the braces apply pressure or pull on your teeth, depending which way the teeth have to go. And the teeth will turn, with their roots, if they can. The roots are where the nerves are attached, and those nerve strands are not only the slowest thing to grow in the human body, but they are also the things that get pulled on right now by your teeth, too. They need to adjust to the new influences, and that takes a while.
Besides Advil or Aspirin or stuff like that, there really is nothing you can take or do. Relax about it. It is going to hurt everytime they ill asjust your braces, since one can't turn teeth by simply putting braces in, you have to do it gradually.

They will hurt for a day or two, and than, like I said, everytime they adjust them again for another day or two. Try not to eat food that is too hard or crunchy and than could easily get stuck between your teeth, since your gums are quite sensitive now, too, and having soemthing stuck in between your teeth will really hurt.

Other than that: No way around it! Sorry!Health Question & Answer

If the wax doesn't work, try paracetamol or painkillers.? It helps the pain a bit! Gradually you'll get used to it obviously, it'll hurt now & then when they get tightened, but nothing a paracetamol can't cure :) best of luck!Health Question & Answer
