oh wow 11.? i had only four and i was in so much pain even after days of having them put in. =/
take motrin/ibuprofin, it really helps the pain and since it also helps inflamation it will be more of a relief for you because your gums are probably also a bit swollen like mine were. besides that theres not much else you can do except wait it out and eat soft foods until your mouth gets used to them. when i got my braces on they really bothered by teeth too for the first week or two, so keep that motrin close by! feel better :)Health Question & Answer

My son had spacers and he had a lot of pain for about 24 hrs, he also dribbled a lot and didn't even realise it at the time. Keep taking Paracetamol or equivalent as per dosage recommendation. If you are still in a lot of pain 24 hrs later then I suggest ring your orthodontist for further advice. It should begin to wear off though!Health Question & Answer
Spacers is only the beginning, you do feel pressure between your teeth, but once it comes having braces is hurts more and gives a lot more pressure.
the pain last for a week or 2.
try to sleep more, your teeth moves faster while rested and not knowing.Health Question & Answer

Sucks, doesn't it.? Give it a couple of days...shifting teeth are one of the most annoying things! I remember the spacers, then I remember the first set of braces...the first couple of days were difficult! Can't eat anything that requires chewing!!
