This is the second time I got braces. Recently, I got only my top braces on, and didn't get the bottom ones on until today. I've been taking Ibeprofen and it is NOT HELPING! I was thinking maybe Advil Liquid gels?? I'm open for any suggestions! P.S. I'm only 14 so nothing too strong. Thanks so much for all who help. I just want to eat again!
Answer:
***if u r in serious pain use advil or tylenol but dont over do it.
my friend just got braces last week and overdid it with the advil and fainted first day or 2 ur teeth may be a little sensitive so stick with eating soup, pasta, ice cream, milkshakes, bananas, jello, pudding, beans, toast-soft foods***avoid straws!every night use Peroxyl mouthwash for like a week to keep ur gums storng from cuts and use dental wax and rubber coverups so u wont get blisters, they hurt a little but arent that bad. avoid sleeping on ur side, try to keep ur head straight up for a couple of daysevery morning and every night use the Peroxyl mouthwash again for 2 weeks then after that just use ACT mouthwash to keep ur teeth and gum s healthy. get some Super floss, made for braces-i sugest elictrical toothbrushes they keep ur mouth cleanerdont worry-trust me- i have had my braces on for almost 4 years, i am gettin em off on July 3-my friend says it acutally hurts more to get em off so yea-Nati
yeah, its normal for ur teeth to hurt after braces, but after like a week, it will start to get better and ull be able to eat. yeah, just take advil and tough it out. ^^good luck, from a friend who had braces too
Try Excedrin. It's a mixture of acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine.Cold works too. Ice, Ice Water, Ice Cream, etc.
All you can do besides advil is just tough it out. I know, it sucks, but after a few days the pain will calm down and you will be able eat solids again. Believe the straight teeth will be worth your wait. ;)
My friend once said that taking soluble aspirin helped him a lot. What he do: He took two aspirin and let it rest in his mouth for a few seconds and swallow it. I know it tastes awful but if it helped him, I'm sure you would do anything for the pain.Hope this helps you too.
A couple of benidryl does the trick ;D I had the same problem. It get's better, too. May I suggest eating mashed potatoes for a while %26lt;3
Advil is always a sure bet... any time you get them tightened or get new rubberbands (or actually use them), make sure to take some because those rubberbands will definitely cause pain. It ain't that bad... I had braces for 5 years- so wear those rubberbands, cuz I didn't for about 3 and thats why I had them so long. Gewd lawk
have your parents call the orthodontist so that you can get something stronger. the doctor will be available 24/7.
Advil works great but try chewing sugarless gum it hurst for a little bit but them it won't hurt any more after the gum get softer and it somehow lostens up and makes it easier to chew harder food also try gargling salt water (i don't know why but it works)
Marijuana.
