It helps alot to take advil or something just before the appointment. They still get sore, but not as much.

the wax sometimes works...use cold packs or hot packs and drink hot or cold drinks which ever helps you most...also take advil or ibuprofene ( sp ) that helps too...take a long nap and sometimes that helps..hope i helped!

take aleve or motrin....(medicines) and maybe go to a drugstore and buy Anbesol or Oragel ( they numb your gums for a bit so you cant feel them ) they are just like little tubes with clear gel in them and you squeeze it on or w/e

I don't have braces, but my friend does and she rubs koniak wine (or something like that) on her teeth.

Try taking Tylenol or Motrin or something. When I get my braces tightened, I just try to focus my attention on something else really important, so I don't notice how much my mouth is hurting.
Hope I helped!

Unfortunately, the pain hurts. I've had braces too. If medicine isn't working there not much else you can do. But I suggest eating soup, if you are hungry. Soups are the only thing I could eat after having my braces changed, even sandwiches hurt. It normally can stay that way for a day or two.

Good luck,

i had braces and they never really hurt that bad when i got them changed. they shouldnt be hurting that bad.. unless they did somthing wrong or u broke a braket, so maybe go in for a quick check up. See what's wrong. Take some advil or anything else that might have helped. Don't eat hard food because that will make the pain worse.
hope the pain goes away :)

The only thing you can do is take Ibprofun (motrine) or Advil. and close ur mouth and dont talk.. You cant really do much if that dosent work i would suck on ice i know it sounds weird but it helps..
hope ur mouth feels better lol
