How do i stop jaw pain naturally? i have braces and my left jaw hurts really bad.

NSAIDS: The pain you feel is from the ligaments connecting your teeth to your jaw bone inside their specialized cradle called a socket. The inflammation caused by the movement is what is causing the pain. Best suggestion is to take OTC Motrin, Advil or Aleve (naproxen). For pain caused by the brackets and wires against your checks and lips, ask your dentist for Orthodontic Wax to act as a protective shield.

TMJ disorder : is the second most frequent cause of orofacial pain after dental pain. The common symptom are: headache, jaw pain, neck pain, eye pain, earache. Proper diagnosis is the key for the successful treatment. This disorder will not resolve on its own with home care. See an orofacial pain specialist for evaluation and natural treatment.
