I can't eat with my painful new braces. how do i get over this?

Time will resolve: Until then 1) 1 advil/motrin/ibuprofen every 4 hrs w food or liquids, 2) 1 tsp salt in 8 oz warm water 3x/day as a rinse, 3) put orthodontic wax onto "stickers, " 4) dab orabase-b onto sore spots w q-tip, 5) keep mouth immaculately clean, 6) eat soft high-protein diet. Sticking pins into your orthodontist's business card also helps.
