How to stop the pain after braces?

Answer #1

I got unbelieveably lucky and haven't had any pain whatsoever, my orthodontist told me to chew sugar free gum right after getting them, she said it would hurt like hell but would help massage the ligaments and over all make it less painful. Take advil as well :)
