Have you ever tried Anbesol? I used that when I had braces and it numbes your gums enough so that you're not in as much pain. Just look at any drugstore and ask for medicine for pain from braces, I can't think of anymore, but there's some products out there.

ahh i think i have some of that stuff thanks!!!

Advil or Tylenol should work too. I remember the pain, but don't remember if I did anything about it.

When I had braces, I would chew gum and take Advil.

I always just suck it up. I think I take motrin once and then I forget to.

The only thing that ever helped me was vicodin. I was prescribed that a few times because my braces were so bad. But I was a rare mess.

Aren't you supposed to NOT chew gum?

I've never had braces, but my sibs did, and they weren't supposed to.

I always chewed sugar free gum, such as Trident and things like that. If it's sugar free, it won't stick to your braces.

hmm i thought my ortho said you can't chew gum because it messes up what they do......but i can't chew because it hurts to chew anything. Its getting better though

OMG, I always hated when my braces were tightened. I can still remember years later how much it hurt!!

I do hope you're feeling better now, Letsgoreyes.
