Just got my braces; Teeth ache

[raggedpelt98]

Any suggestions on how to stop the pain? ;w;

Iceeee
lots of ice, or frozen peas they help, just hold them to your face, but be sure to wrap a tea-towel around it so you don't get frost bite!

Been there, done that. Here's a few tips:

1) Always remember that once your braces are off, then you're in the clear for an awesome smile.
2) Your dentist should have given you some waxy stuff. If your gums ever hurt from the friction of the braces, then put the wax on the brace that's irritating the area (make sure to take only a little bit off and ball it up).
3) When my braces first started hurting, I usually just took 1-3 tablets of children's ibuprofen.

Good luck with your braces, and I hope they won't hurt you anymore!

Been there! Wow I'm glad that's over. But anyway, I suggest swishing some cold water around in your mouth. That makes the metal relax. However, it only works while it's in yor mouth, just keep at that. Instant relief for the time the water is there. Also do what was mentioned before me. Advil works best, but any pain killer should help. 1-2 tablets are the normal. Good luck with your teeth! I'm sure they'll be beautiful!
