Braces Pain Please Help!?!
Question: Braces Pain Please Help!?
I have had my braces on for about two years now and I just got rubber bands. They were fine but I just went on Monday and I have to wear THREE rubber bands now and they clamp down my teeth to where I can barely open my mouth. It hurts so bad so what can help me relieve the pain? I have tried ibuprofen and a heating pad but those won't really work. I know you probably don't think it hurts that bad but if you only knew how bad it really does! On a scale of one to ten I would say it hurts by ten! I know it will go away in a few days but I can barely sit through my classes throughout the school day, it's even hard for me to talk. Please help!
Answers:
try taking a different painkiller in addition to ibuprofen. the pain will go in a few days, hang in there, else go back to the orthodontist
