The thing is, this will re-occur every time you have your braces resettled again (in my case, it was every month).
It's something you'll have to live with, if it's too unbearable I suggest you take painkillers (I've never tried that before, so I can't say if it really works).

It's best not to eat hard stuff since it'll be a pain in the butt to chew. But you already know that

SUCK IT UP.
lol jk. when i had braces, i seriously slept to keep the pain away.
i ate painkillers-advil, etc all the time good luck with it...

Like what the others have said, you really just have to deal with it.
If it makes you feel any better, there are probably millions
of you going through the same thing and millions more who
have gone through it, including myself.

I only had braces on my bottom teeth but I definitely know how
you feel.
Just a little advice though, when you get your braces adjusted, you take the pain killers BEFORE
you go to the dentist.

The ultimate advice, MIND OVER MATTER!

braces hurt? ive had mine over a year and they never hurt, only when i ate hard stuff or just had them tightened... i think you should talk to your dentist to get it loosened....

[kimchee1]

ohhh my g. i feel you. it hurt a lot for me when i first got it. DON'T WORRY, you'll get used to them after a while. its only painful like for a week or two after you get em.... feel better! :[

[__fattie]

take some tylenol for the pain...you'll feel a little bit better...

[dreamyxxx]

take pain killers if it's that bad
but yeah, nothing much you can do about it
you'll get used to it after a while

[Gullwings]

.... lol... am I the only person who has no pain :S~ it doesn't hurt that much... I thought it would hurt more xDD and at home we have no painkillers xDD and I can eat normal ~ I have an overbite and some tooth are crooked

[_eXcentric]

My spacers hurt me more than when I got my braces LOL It hurt me a lot of the first few days as well, but now even when I tighten them, it doesn't hurt at all ^__^ You'll get used to them, just keep thinking about how beautiful your smile will look after and you'll forget about the pain XD

[piggyx3]

deal with it i just got my braces a couple weeks ago too T__T
i ate potato and soup for a month and i lost 5 punds -.-
it doesn't hurt that much anymore but since my teeth are moving my gums
are a bit sore >.<

[weirdazn]

When I first got my braces my gums were really really sore and hurt like crazy, but then it got better after a few days.
Just don't think about it too much and it'll go away soon^^ Hope you feel better.

[Hemera]

i don't have the metal braces, but i got my first invisalign trays today...my teeth are a little bit sore from the pressure..it's supposed to be worse when the doc puts the "attachments" on next month..i have no idea what those are, but doesn't sound very good...

[addickshun]

poor thing!
but the old saying, no pain no gain.

[iya.donghae]

LOL I'm done with braces. I haven't worn my retainers for a while now and guess what, they hurt pretty much like the braces when you put em on. Because the teeth are going out again.

[The Legend]

^ i agree with you on that. i haven't been wearing my retainers for awhile..which i should and when i do put them on they hurt haha.

but yeah, you'll get used to it. they're just gonna hurt again when you get them tightend but the pain will go away

[justxlouise]

Deal with it.

To have pretty teeth, you must endure the pain
You could talk painkillers, but they never worked for me
Every month you get your braces tightened, they'll hurt like a bxtch ;]

[tomatotooty]

mine hurt like a pinkberry when i first put it on and everytime i tighten it. but hell, my teeth moves much faster than the rest of the braces wearing population

EYES ON THE PRIZE EYES ON THE PRIZE
i always tell myself that, since my first crush used to say "bugs bunny, go chew a carrot" to me.

EYES ON THE PRIZE

i know everyone says it will be better in a few days but while you're at it, it hurts like crap and you wonder if its cos' you're weird and whether the pain will ever go away. dont worry i have the nastiest dentist in my country and im still alive and kicking!

you can do it!

[Angxizzle]

when i first got my braces they didnt hurt but an hour later i was cryin because they hurt so much but after awhile they will just be sore whenever you get it tighten it wont hurt as much the 1st time is the worst because it's your first time feeling the pain just take pain killers to make it not hurt as much it will be worth it in the end you will have str8 teeth!
