Try sucking on small pieces of ice (if your teeth aren't sensitive to extreme cold..) The cold will sooth and relieve some of the pain..
I'm not sure if it'll work, but you can try one of those magic sacs.. It's a cloth "sac" filled with special beads that you can freeze or heat to relieve pain in certain areas.. If you don't have one, you can make a simple one bu filling a sandwich bag with rice, and tossing it in the freezer.. You'll be able to form it to your jaw to further alleviate the pain..
You'll most likely be eating soups or easy to eat foods, like pasta, even jello, low-fat ice creams, yogurts, maybe mashed potatoes..Health Question & Answer

don't worry the pain will do away.. the worst for me was the first night sleep b/c i wasn't used to them and i woke up trying to take them out of my mouth half asleep!
they sell a throat spry for sore throats, use that to spray your braces.. it numbs them..
for the most part they only hurt for the first few days and when you get the tighten for a couple of days.. you'll be so used to them by next week!
i would always eat apple sauce and cottage cheese!Health Question & Answer

When I got my braces, I had a lot of smoothies and ice cream type things because the cold felt good on my teeth.. Make sure to keep taking appropriate doses of tylenol.. & Believe it or not the pain will go away!
also, you might want to get that GUM orthodontist wax in case you get sores in your mouth, you apply it to the brackets and your mouth has time to heal.. (This stuff saved me)

ouch! They told you yogurt prob cause you don't have to chew it.. Next time, try some advil, and if it still hurts four hours later take tylenol.. Just stagger it like that..
My mom would make some kind of noodles, soup, or other soft foods.. And, ice cream helps.. I guess it numbs your teeth...... Health Question & Answer
