To think I will never eat again??!!

[Bracesfornow]

I got braces fitted yesterday and I feel awful, my teeth are so sore and sensitive when the touch off pf each other. I had soup for dinner but even the feeling of the food on my braces made me feel weird!! The thought of food stuck on them is annoying me. Right now I just don’t see how I will EVER eat comfortably 😫 obviously I know I will eventually as I have seen other ppl with braces eat normally. But I think I may be resigning my self to a severely reduced/limited diet!! Anyone got any words of wisdom/advice??! Feeling sorry for myself although somewhat wondering if I can jump start my weight loss from this too 🤣🤣🤣🙈

They will only really hurt for a few days then it settles down. Until you get them tightened again! Good luck, you'll be fine.

Give it a day or 2, they'll settle down. Meanwhile - paracetamol

My daughter had her braces fitted 2 weeks ago today, and she’s fine with them now.
She only had a few days of pain, more like a dull ache she says.

She’s eating pretty much everything, although she uses a knife and fork with bread, she can’t bite into things, but once it’s in her mouth, she’s fine chewing.

They’ll settle down in a few day’s. In the meantime enjoy the weight loss 😂

Take painkillers, it will get easier quicker than you think. Then you get to feel your mouth is huge and empty ish after they're taken off😁

@RuggerHug 🤣🤣🤣 that made me laugh

bracesfornow beware of licking your own teeth in wonder and forgetting other people can see you

Ughhh brace pain! I used gnaw on towels 🤣🤣 to relieve the weird itchy pain from tightenings. Luckily it only lasts a day or two. You'll eat again. Food will get stuck. Just carry a toothbrush/toothpaste and clean your teeth after you eat.
