babypowder	I recently got my braces off and i feel for you :( it is very painful. Im sorry there is no magic medicine that will help - im afraid you'll have to live with it :( keep taking Advil / Tylenol it will at least minimize the pain. some foods that help me were: ice cream (good excuse to eat it! ;)) yogurt pb & j sandwiches (really soft, break off pieces with hands instead of biting) mashed potatoes smoothies (again, good excuse, also like ice cream the cold feels good on the aching teeth) milkshakes scrambled eggs Kraft dinner so those are a few thing i could think of (btw stay away from rice, i tried that and couldnt chew them and it felt horrible going down my throat! Hang in there, trust me it's 100% worth it, your teeth will turn out beautiful :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

aileyatd	I had braces for 3 years so i know yoyr problem XD for the pain put ice (if possible ice chips) because the coolness makes it feel better. and for easy foods ice cream yogurts and pasta are REALLY easy. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

rich b	in addition to all of the other good suggestions for food, try: campbells soup at hand (it's a microwavable cup that you heat and just drink - no spoon needed) motts makes applesauces with all kinds of interesting flavors like blueberry, strawberry, peach (i still like plain old apple!) if you don't feel like eating at all, try nutritional drinks like ensure and boost - i like the vanilla flavor best hope this helps - hang in there! good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Carly	well...braces certainly aren't fun. i have had them twice but there are easy foods you can eat when your teeth are sore: smoothies, most soft canned fruit, ice cream or frozen yogurt, soup, oatmeal, applesauce, pudding, marshmallows, popsicles (as long as you don't bite it), soft cake or cupcakes (angle-food, for cake). as for the pain Ibuprofen sometimes works but it can be very strong, so i suggest sucking on an ice cube or popsicle. mostly any cooler will numb the pain. this pain should last a couple days to a week so just hang tight. hope this helps!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Betty O.	wow..sorry that sucks! ive been there. well in all honesty, your mouth is going to be sore on and off through the time you have your braces. depending on how often they tighten them, or any other work that they will do. ibprofen does help..i also liked excedrin-because the pain would give me a horrible headache! You should try Tylenol..extra strength rapid release. On good days I used to eat a peanut butter sandwhich, oranges, ravioli. hope i helped. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Brie M	tylenol or Advil should work, and for foods eat ice cream, slushes, mashed potatoes, milk shakes and anything that is soft Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Twiggy clone XD	I got my braces on again this year had them before in 2nd grade, and the best way to get rid of pain was to take Motrin* every 5-6hrs or taken 1-2 hours before I ate anything As for foods, I found that eating things like yogurt, soft icecream, steamed vegetables, pudding, mashed potatoes, white bread --no crust, pasta(?), or just anything that is possible to eat without any chewing -hope this helps, lex- Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

foxr1d3r40	Hmm, ouch! I would reccomend to eat jell-o, mashed potatos, pudding, soup for the next couple of days. Don't worry, the pain should probably go away in a week. Ive had my braces for 4 years, and make sure to brush good with em cause ull regret it l8ter. ;] And hmm, medication to take? Advil and Motrin worked good for me, idk if it would with you. Try the chewable tablets or the pills. I find the tablets quite tasty ;] Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
