Answers:
Take some Tylenol or Motrin, they will both stop the pain so you can eat. You might also want to avoid hard foods and stick to softer ones. I would suggest some pasta (like mac & cheese), applesauce, or even a smoothie (the cold might also help the pain).

Hope I helped. Good Luck!Health Question & Answer

Well, the pain will wear off after about a week (I know it sucks!) First, make sure to stay on soup, milkshakes, oatmeal (uuck!) and other soft foods. also, what really helped me is take a bottle filled with hot water and hold it up to your jaw. This will help relax the jaw muscles which will relieve some of the tension the braces cause. HANG IN THERE! Braces really suck, but if you just follow the orthos rules, you'll be good.Health Question & Answer
