How the heck do I stop my braces from hurting? I just got them on and my lips are really cut. Is there anything I can do to make them stop hurting?

Answer #1

I just got my braces and I know how you feel. I would defintely take some Advil (Tylenol didn’t help me at all.) and since your lips are getting cut, your orthodontist should’ve given you some wax. You could place it where it hurts and it should feel better. Hope this helps! :D

Answer #2

You could just take some painkillers. Theres not much you can do I’m afraid. The pain will die down, trust me. I had braces also. :)

Everyone has a walmart close. Go to where the dental floss, orajel and all that other stuff like that is. They now sell things for people with braces. Buy some wax. you make a small ball of it and put it over the bracket. You need to let the cuts heal and that will help. I had them too and your mouth will toughen up to them. I know, ugh right? The orajel will only numb it and not protect it. The wax is smooth and feels nice. In fact, if you got braces shouldnt they have given you a starter pack of stuff? I did and wax came in it.
