How to help sore teeth from braces?
Noooo Not Tylenol. Im surprised they didn't tell you that the ONLY thing that works for mouth pain is Ibuprofen such as in Advil. It is the only thing!! I am out of braces and my son is currently in them and I promise it works. Get some Advil. And wear the wax so the insides of your mouth don't shred up for the first week or so til your mouth gets used to the braces.





It's all worth it in the end, your teeth will be so pretty. Good luck!! Now go get some ADVIL!!
Reply:Very good, and you're welcome. I'm glad that worked! Report It

Reply:I think it's called "Anbesol." It is a topical anesthetic for your mouth. Works great! Just rub it on your gums to alleviate all pain for an hour or two.

Reply:What did the orthodontist say to do for the discomfort? Maybe you could try some of that medicine that they put on baby's gums when they are teething.
Reply:Your orthodontist should be able to tell you what to do to ease the pain.





Try popsicles or drinking ice water. Don't crunch on the ice. It'll only hurt more.


All medicines take about 20 minutes or more to kick in so give the Tylenol that time if you haven't.


You could try Aleve instead of Tylenol but you need to wait a few hours before trying another medicine.





Anbesol maybe since that's topical.
Reply:Tough it out, as mean as that sounds! I've gotten braces put on and I know it hurts, but it also hurts just as bad when they tighten them! Try eating soft foods like soup! Good luck!
Reply:well try some more tynol and if that doesn't work try some cough medicine because when you spray it on your throat it numes it so spray away
Reply:Honey, I know how you feel. (Braces 2 1/2 years) Take some Motrin (Ibuprofen)(when the Tylenol wears off... you do NOT want to take too much pain medicine) , especially before you go to bed tonight. Give it a few days, you'll get used to them.
Reply:get some flavored teething gel mothers buy when their babies are cutting their first teeth
Reply:When I got my braces I used Anbesol..........it numbs your gums but it doesn't last as long as you would probably want it to. Don't worry it won't last that long...........and beware because it may numb your tongue and it feels wierd.
Reply:I to have braces and had just got them tightend and my teeth are very sore you can use wax for places that are poking their is a type of special floss that you can use or is you are always in a hurry their are floss handles i hope this helps
Reply:I have to say the best thing that helped me was eating steak. I know it will hurt when you are actually eating it, but after it will feel so much better because you have gotten your teeth used to the pain. But other things that help are ice cold water, popsciles, and milkshakes. I know it hurts now, but with just a little pain you will have great teeth afterwards.





p.s. make sure you have a little asprin right before you go get them tightened ever.





hope this helps!
Reply:a bottle of vicoden and a fifth of jim beam
Reply:i used aleve or advil when i had my braces on, they are anti-inflammatorys and are much more effective for the type of pain you are receiving. i used to take it right before i'd go to the orthodontist each month as well, to get a head start before the pain really kicks in. ask your mom to look into this for you. it DOES get better as time goes on...
