Do the following: Keep mouth scrupulously clean. Eat soft high-protein diet. Take 1 200mg advil/motrin/ibuprofen every 4 hrs w food or lots of liquids. Rinse 3x/day w 1 tsp salt in 8 oz warm water. Cover "stickers" w orthodontic wax. Dab orabase-b onto sore spots w q-tip. Stick pins into one of your orthodontist's professional cards. Surprised your orthodontist didn't give you pain modification instructions.
