Take a pain killer and wait a few days. The pain subsides, it's just really bad at first. Or when it's tightened. Good luck. Sorry about the pain.

Did you just get them on? If so all I can do is assure you that you *will* get used to it and they won't hurt. If you've had them a while then it sounds like there's something wrong, unless your ortho just made an adjustment. Ibuprofin or something is all I can recommend, otherwise you'll get used to it.

I really hate to use this phrase, but grin and bear it. They hurt because they are being forced to move. Sorry you hurt. Can your orthodontist recommend anything for the pain?

The orthodontist should have given you wax if the braces are cutting the inside of your mouth, as for the pain take tylenol, advil or whatever, my girls always complain after seeing the orthodontist, sorry to hear it (((HUG)))

The pain associated with braces is often what scares people most about getting them. Mouth sores, cuts and deep pain in the jaw are common, especially in the early stages of braces. However, a few simple steps can help alleviate the pain associated with braces and make the experience more pleasant. Instructions Difficulty: Easy Steps 1 Step One Act fast. The constant adjustments involved when you have braces cause inevitable pain. However, if you treat the pain early, you are much more likely to make the experience more tolerable. 2 Step Two Take pain relievers. Over-the-counter pain relief drugs such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen can help treat the deep mouth pain associated with new braces and constant adjustment. This pain originates from the pressure of shifting teeth and extends into the gums and jaws. 3 Step Three Use wax. Orthodontists generally offer an unlimited supply of wax to patients. The friction associated with wires and metal fittings in the mouth tend to cause sores and cut the insides of cheeks and lips. By placing a ball of wax over the metal of the braces, especially at night, patients can avoid further irritation. 4 Step Four Invest in an oral anesthetic. Over-the-counter anesthetics like Anbesol and Orajel temporarily deaden the mouth. Dab a small amount of the anesthetic on a cotton swab and apply it to sores in the mouth. The gel will deaden the spot and completely take away the pain for a limited amount of time. This method is particularly effective when trying to fall asleep at night. The gel wears off by morning, but allows a pathway to sleep. 5 Step Five Try toothpaste for sensitive teeth. If you have a naturally sensitive mouth, a toothpaste for sensitive teeth can lessen mouth sensitivity over time and treat pain on a long term basis. By lessening the sensitivity of the mouth the adjustment of braces hurts less. 6 Step Six Give it time. A tolerance to the pain associated with braces takes time. The longer you have braces the less you will experience the sores, cuts and deep pain that are common in the early stages. Resources * DentaKit sells braces survival kits. http://tinyurl.com/ypan6d

hmmmmm... i just put on some pink floyd and go to sleep. when i wake up, i always feel much better, and of course it doesnt hurt at all while im out! good luck with the discomfort! XD

I am sorry your teeth hurt, they usually only hurt for a while (like when you get a new sized wire, head gear, rubber bands or some other new accessory!). My best advice would be to eat soft foods, take ibuprofen, and orajel! Hope you feel better! :)

take medicine for the pain also use the wax and orajel...try not to chew on the wax like i did it helped me but kept knocking my braces off lol

advil it will stop 5 days after they put them on. it not get tools and break em off.
