OMIGOD....

I had the same problem a year or two ago. All I can say is tough it out, that's what my parents made me do. The less I numbed it the faster I got used to it.

But seriously, braces freaking suck.

I have braces too, and this happens to me a lot. Just take a few painkillers and it should lessen within about 20 to 30 minutes.

Orajel should help you.
It numbs the pain of the tooth it's hurting.
I know the feeling though of your mouth hurting, I went to the dentist today and they had to pull a tooth (because it was irratating me) and my mouth still hurts from the tooth getting pulled.

it'll be alright
the first month will be painful then you'll get used to it
i used to eat about 2-3 pills of a painkiller

Aw yeah I hear yeah, I used to have braces, I took Tylenol and ate a lot of ice cream to numb my mouth XD but honestly all you really can do is just wait it out till your teeth stop moving, and I know your going to hate those elastics, just wear them, it makes it worthwhile cause the longer you don't wear them the longer you have to wear braces.

AWW. You have my deepest empathies :3 I had braces a couple of years back, and trust me.. all the pain and suffering pays off when you get to remove them and see your fantastic, straight and shining teeth. Just keep holding on.
