Taking a little break to eat. Since I got braces yesterday they said to only eat soft food for 3 days-1 week. My mouth hurts so bad but art is taking my mind off the pain. Anyone got any tips for braces? Might have them for 3 years, a year after my senior year of highschool. ;v;

Finished!

aww, i feel your pain! I got my braces put on a month or so ago (after years of waiting for my milk teeth to fall out, they came out really late compared to whats supposed to be normal). I'm stuck with mine for 2-3 years.

I find that after an adjustment (or when they're first put on) using a numbing gel can help a little (i use it for getting to sleep). I tend to eat cold soft foods like ice cream which helps me personally, but i've come across people who have found it makes it worse (its worth a try i guess?).

I got my braces on 17 august 2018! A day after my birthday, my teeth are in good shape so I will only have them for a year and half. I recommend you take painkillers, only one in 4 hours though! And spaghetti, soup or pudding are really good foods to eat when you've just gotten them.

Oof well i dont have my braces anymore i understand what you are feeling

Yeah so soft things help and also cool stuff lowers the pain a bit so maybe that?

Also Dont play around with them, its for ur safely
