ok so i just got my braces put on yesterday, and may i say i am in PAIN!!! they didnt hurt the first day i got them but now my teeth are so sore and my lips are all cut. the wax has helped my lips from getting cut my teeth still hurt real bad. how long is it going to take for the pain to go away???
Eventually when you go back to the orthodontist, he's going to tighten the braces again and they're going to hurt. Eventually you get used to it and the pain only lasts 2-4 days. I know it sucks but it's something you just gotta get through for it to get better. The end results are sooo worth it <3 I had braces for 4 years so I know it's no fun =/ if you have any other questions just let me know. :) [ lacexface's advice column | Ask lacexface A Question ]

the pain will vary from person to person, but it usually stays sore for about 2-4 days, and then you get used to it. but trust me, take advil or tylenol and youll feel soo much better.
good luck, and feel better soon ! xxo. [ itdependsonyoux3's advice column | Ask itdependsonyoux3 A Question ]

For now, you're just going to have to bite the pain. See what I did there?
Bet you're not thinking about your teeth pain now! You're wondering why you couldn't stop banging your head up and down. [ Matt's advice column | Ask Matt A Question ]
