they told me to take 2 every umm 4 hours I believe. didnt they give you instructions like that? and it doesnt make the pain go away but it helps some. the pain gets less intense after a while. best of luck.

I can relate. What worked best for me was to sleep the pain away, haha! Eat soupy foods, nothing really solid. And a tylonel? you're going to need a lot more. I took quite a few, but of course under a safe dosage. =p

They will be sore for a couple of days and there isn't much you can do about it sad Painkillers are really the only things you can take to ease the pain. You will eventually get used to them and you'll hardly feel them in your mouth happy It's because they're moving your teeth and it takes a while for them to settle. Just maybe go to sleep for a couple of hours, when you wake up they might not hurt as much - this is what I did when I first got my braces - it helped, but the only thing you can really do is just bare with it for a couple of days. Try not to eat hard foods for a while aswell because that will just make it hurt even more - just eat soups and soft bread etc. If they're rubbing on your gums you should be able to get some wax from your dentist to put on the brace.
