Ok...so i have braces and I just got chain put on them...and for those of you who know what that is you probbly know how bad that hurts!! Please tell me what to do for the pain! It is killing me!
LuckyDuckx7 answered Thursday June 9 2005, 9:55 pm: Ouch, I know how you feel. One thing you can do is take Tylenol or Advil for the pain, that really helped me when I first got the chain put on when I had braces. Another thing you can for when you eat (if it hurts when you eat, it did for me) is eat foods that don't require much, if any, chewing, like soup or something. Also, eating ice cream really helps ease the pain! :D Hope this helps!
Mackenzie answered Thursday June 9 2005, 11:24 am: WeRe you not peRscRibed pain killeRs???? You need some aspRin. I'd say eitheR Advil, IbupRofien, oR MotRin. To decide on which is betteR foR you.. I HIGHLY suggest consulting a paRent who can fuRtheR deteRmine youR level of pain!! :D Feel betteR!! [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
Saynotogymclass answered Wednesday June 8 2005, 5:37 pm: The only thing to use for it is a pain killer! They suck I know, but the pain will eventually be gone and your teeth will be beautiful! Chains work really fast so don't be surprised if you see a major improvement in the morning! Of course, thats why they hurt so much!
AquamarineRose answered Wednesday June 8 2005, 5:10 pm: *Smiles in pain to expose power chain* Yup, I know exactly what you mean. Nothing will make all the pain go away. Swallow a couple of Advil, within hours it should take the edge of the pain. [ AquamarineRose's advice column | Ask AquamarineRose A Question ]
Karen answered Wednesday June 8 2005, 3:03 pm: I used to have braces and I remember when I had the chain put on them. Just take a pain killer such as Advil, Tylenol, or Alieve and that will help get rid of the pain. The pain will go away in a few days, don't worry. [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
ShYbl0nD3 answered Wednesday June 8 2005, 2:42 pm: well i kinda just waited until it was gone but im sure the ortho told you some medicines you can use if you do have pain. Tylenol should help some, but the pain should only last for a few days..
h.i.h.

Napalm350z answered Wednesday June 8 2005, 2:06 pm: Yes, i have been there before. The most you can do is take somthing to relieve the pain (ibuprophen, asprin, ect) and dont eat foods that are tough unless theyre chopped into small pieces. [ Napalm350z's advice column | Ask Napalm350z A Question ]
xcrazybeautiful answered Wednesday June 8 2005, 2:02 pm: I had those. Take some Advil for the pain. & Next time before you go, take something for pain. That way, it will already be kicking in by the time you are getting it done. & Other than that, I tried to sleep it off. [ xcrazybeautiful's advice column | Ask xcrazybeautiful A Question ]
xoxoPrettyNPinkxoxo answered Wednesday June 8 2005, 1:42 pm: Hey! I know how this feels because i have braces and i know how much the chains hurt. Just try taking advil and eat only soft foods for a couple of days so that it hurts keft.
mrs_radcliffe answered Wednesday June 8 2005, 1:39 pm: Try taking so pain killers. They are bound to hurt but there isnt much you can do. Try drink warm tea or hot chocolate something hot.
Shelly_x answered Wednesday June 8 2005, 1:38 pm: i dont know what its like myself but my sister had them and it really hurt her. al she could do was take pain killers. thats all i can sugest really. hope i've helped [ Shelly_x's advice column | Ask Shelly_x A Question ]
S_C answered Wednesday June 8 2005, 1:36 pm: Any pain reliever medicines will help. Don't braces suck!? I still have to have mine on for like another year.... it really bites.
But anything like ibuprofin (sp?) tylenol, motrin, asprin... etc. Just any pain relievers. Usually the orthodontists tell me medicines I can use to relieve the pain, but I assume hear either you forgot what yours said or they didn't say any. Have fun with braces :p.

Shortie8959 answered Wednesday June 8 2005, 1:31 pm: Aw, I remember those. Just take some Aspirin, Ibuprofiin, or Motrin (that works best), and lay down and watch TV. That will help a lot. And if it's hurting your gums, put on some wax. I hope you feel better, good luck! ♥ Erin [ Shortie8959's advice column | Ask Shortie8959 A Question ]
