My Braces were tightened and i have lots of Pain how do I lessen the pain?!
Question: Its really severe, I have a really bad headache and i feel so energy-less from the pain. I cant even eat my cereal this morning. Also, i cant even speak because my mouth hurts. So its like i'm a sitting duck that cant make a sound. And i woke up with blood in my mouth, whats with that!? I had braces for a year now and i this never happened to me ever. There about to come off soon in the next 3-4 months... so any clue as to what i can take quickly....

I just got my braces tightened too. it hurt me the day after but nothing after that. I took a tylenol, or motrin and the pain stopped and hasnt come back. For the blood in you mouth your wire may have scratched the inside or you mouth. If you cant speak your mouth may be swollen. if you want to eat eat ice cream and soft stuff like that that's cold, which may also help ease the pain. Hope this helped.
Hope you feel better soon!
asprin, tylonol
Paracetemol...it'll ease in a day or two...blood's no prob, you most likely bit your cheek or tongue...
I had the same problem. I took tylenol before my visits and then constantly after. The blood was probably from a wire or bracket cutting your gum. If you have rubber bands, don't wear them for a day or two. Also, I know that most orthodontists say not to chew gum, but If you do it gets the blood circulating in your mouth and it hurts less.
Ibuprofen will reduce any swelling and lessen the pain. It may even completely take the pain away. Good luck.
aww that sucks. i had braces before. tylenol & all that over-the-counter pain medicine os your best friend.
take some pain relievers, don't worry it'll go away in a few days. your teeth are probably really sensitive right now, so you probably won't be able to eat any good solid foods for the next few days. What you can eat though (with some minor difficulty) is those instant noodles, since you don't really need to chew them you can just swallow them :)
well good luck with your braces mate :)
Other than an aspirin or Tylenol there really isn't anything you can do for the pain. I had braces and the only relief I got was the 2 days before I had to get them re tightened! I had to go every 2 weeks. The blood may be from something you got stuck in your gums. I had that happened to me I had a caraway seed stuck in my gum and I woke up one morning bleeding from my mouth. Sorry but you'll just have to stick out the next couple of months. It will be worth it! Don't forget to wear your retainer afterwords!
first of all OUCH..the blood could be from the braces getting caught to your mouth and ripping a piece of skin off. and deffintitly take tylonal..hope your mouth feels better =]]
