Give it a couple days. Take some motrin! Eat soft foods only, which gives you an excuse to drink a lot of milkshakes. (; just think, you're teeth will be beautiful soon!

I just got mine yesterday so I know the feeling...mostly I've just eaten soft foods (just got done with a milkshake) and taken pain Meds to get me through. It will all be worth it in the end though so just push through it (:

I'm a dental assistant lol they will hurt for a few days because the wires are shifting your teeth and it's really tight. Every time you get them tightened it will probably hurt for a few days. (Most ppl anyways)

Chew some non sugary gum that'll help easy some of the pain I had braces a few years ago and I always chewed gum to help.

Mine I'm getting off in November!! Anyways, mine were sore for 5-6 days when I got them on and 2-3 days when I got them tightened. I take ibuprofen and put ice packs on my mouth.

Eat soft food(applesauce, pudding, jello,etc) and complain if you need to a little. If you have power chains it normally hurts more and if you have rubber bands it hurts. If you have bands you can take them off for 15-20 breaks twice a day.
