How long does it take to eat without it hurting when ggetting new braces?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-3 days: It will take a few days for your lips and cheeks to get used to the feel of the braces and for your teeth to adjust to the 'pressure'. Most patients feel they can eat normally again between 2-3 days after the placement of new braces.
