Yea I know how bad that pain can be. I am getting my braces tightened tomorrow. I usually take a pain pill before I go to the ortho and when I am allowed to. I also have Anbesol which makes your mouth numb which relieve pain for a little. I also usually eat soft foods for awhile after I get my braces tightened. Just try to relax as much as you can, which might help your stomach.
Dont worry about your next appointment, try to fix the pain that you are having now.
Hope this helps!
You can take up to four 200 mg tablets of Advil every 6 hours. So you may need to take more. There will be pain because they are moving your teeth.
know how you feel - my braces got tightened more than usual in my last appt 2 weeks ago and hurt like a week. keep taking the pain reliever and it will help, and of course avoid really chewy foods for a while!
my orthodontists office has 4 chairs and one of the assistants who puts on the bands is really clumsy and always breaks the bands - she kinda scares me lol!
the other answers are great..but ALSO if someone other than the dentist is putting on the bands and tightening the braces....they may be incompetent (unskilled idiot..) ...try for another assistant..Some times people don't listen or pay much attention to kids...you have to stick up for yourself...good luck..think about how beautiful you will be when they come off! ?
