BRACES! HELP! plz?

ouch, I just got my braces tightened for the first time. The pain is pretty much gone, except when I chew. And It's hard to explain but my teeth feel numb? it felt the same way after I got them on. And It took like 3 weeks before the "numbness" went away. Is there any thing I can use or do that will make the numbness go away faster? is there like some kind of exercise i can do with my teeth to make them loosen up faster?help plz!
thnx in advance
Answer:
When i got my braces on it hurt for like 6 months but that because my teeth were meeeeesssed up but i just took Advil.
and ya never bite hard or push on ur teeth it just makes it worse the numb feeling comes every time u get ur braces tightened. i guess you could just massage the jaw join or just drink or eat cold stuff. because when the wire is hot it shrikes which tightens it while the cold make the wire not tighten...
just relax, dont eat solid foods. the pain shouldnt last more than 1 week max for some people its only a few days. with me it was 3 :]
You should be sore for a day or two, if that. Advil or something like that should help. You'll probably be sore after every tighting of your braces... but it's a small price to pay for the beautiful smile you'll have when they come off! ;-)
Go to any pharmacy, supermarket, or Wallmart and purchase a tube of Orajel ..It is a non prescription, non addictive gell that you rub on your teeth and gums that will instantly take the pain away. You really do not need any other type of pain reliever ( they will not do you any good in this situation )..In a few days, the pain will lessen and go away on its own..Your mouth just needs time to adjust itself to the braces that are forcing your teeth to move in a "forced" manner that they are not meant to do naturally..
don't you just hate it when they inject you with that numbing thing? i didn't like going through that time, ugh! and the amount of "numbing thing" that they put in you is how long it will last. having braces can be a little exasperating, especially when you gotta eat or drink. just "relax, take it easy" you'll get used to your braces eventually :)ps. i don't really like my dentist. i hope ur dentist are nicer :p
Hey, there's not much juss keep off harder to chew foods!! Give it a Week and u'll be good 2 go!! hope u get through this, then u'll get used 2 it!! : )
