Why do my teeth hurt while i got braces on?

it feels like my teeth have thinned out and are aching like hell . What food shall i eat and is there any medication that can stop the aching

Why do my teeth hurt while i got braces on?
Eat soft food like mashed potatoes, pudding, ice cream, apple sauce. Your teet are hurting because the braces are moving their postion. You can take ibuprofen it really helps with that. The pain will ease up by tomorrow.
Reply:yes there is clove oil tastes yucchh for a while but numbs the pain very quickly and you can eat as normal then but they should not hurt that much so check back with your orthodontist and explain they will be able to help you I'm sure i do know that the brace is therefor a purpose IE changing the shape of you teeth straightening etc so some pain is unavoidable but excessive pain is not the norm so get it checked as for food as long as its not to strong IE boiled sweets then you should be able to eat fairly normally hope this helps
Reply:I remember those days. Your teeth will ache because the brace will be pulling or pushing them out of their usual position. I remember very well how painful it is. Aspirin is very good for tooth ache, which is basically what you have.


Soft foods will be best, but nothing sticky, it'll be hell to get it off your brace. I once got chewing gum wedged in mine and it took all day to pick it out. If you have a food processor you could probably eat just about anything really, if you can mash it up really well.


Eventually your teeth will stop hurting, honest, but it could take a while.
Reply:oooo yes i had that when i was 15!


your teeth are moving!

have some nice soup or something!


Have you just had them tightened? if so it should wear off in a couple of days or so!

Reply:its common to have pain after activation of braces because of pressure effecting on the bone and tissues around the tooth. those constant pressure result in the movement of the teeth.you can take paracetamol with the permission of your dentist.you can have warm saline gargle to ease the pain..





Eating the wrong foods can damage or even break your brace. For the first few days, it may be better to keep to soft foods. whether you have a removable or a fixed brace you should avoid sticky, chewy and sugary foods. Chewing-gum is not recommended as it can stick to your brace. Avoid hard foods such as whole apples, carrots, French bread and crusty rolls. These foods could break the orthodontic wires and brackets.


At first it is best to cut your food into small pieces and keep to a soft diet. Food may build up in the brackets and in between your teeth and will need careful cleaning to remove it.





Avoid fizzy drinks and natural fruit juices as these are often high in sugar and can be acidic. This can lead to tooth decay and erosion. Fizzy drinks can also stain the orthodontic brackets. If you do drink fizzy drinks, avoid constant sipping of the drink and use a straw. Water and plain milk are the safest drinks.
Reply:your orthodontist should have told you all this..
Reply:What you are feeling is where the teeth are shifting back into their normal position. You can take any over the counter pain reliever to stop the aching. As for the foods, Stay away from any crunchy, gummy, sticky, or chewy foods, as these can cause the bands and wires to bend or break loosening up the braces. Also do not eat ice (same reason as crunchy foods).
Reply:yea i had braces and my mouth realy ached and couldnt chew for ages, and just as soon as dint hurt no more i had to back to dentist to get brace tightened and then i hurt again, i guess you just have to put up with it and eat soft food....... yea
