That’s what I’m doing rn . Yesterday I got my braces and I’m in major pain. I tried eating yogurt today but plain yogurt even tasted weird and I can’t eat anything since when I eat my teeth come together and sends sharp pain
*“Bon Appetite” more like “non appetite”* update: don’t worry you guys will definitely sit through this journey well, i’m left with 2 months before braces removal it’s been 2 years for me and trust me youre teeth will luv you for aligning them & trusting the process hehe! :-) sending luvs & hugs ❤️
It's okay, I can assure you that after you get them off, you will miss them :) it sounds crazy, I know, however, its so fun to look at the pictures when you have them on :) wish you patience! And remember that after you get them off, your smile will be perrrrfect !
Even if there is pain, you will come out with a pretty smile and there is some people who can’t afford braces, so please be grateful for the braces you have, and yes I know the pain is unbearable.
I was crying when I didn’t know how to eat food with braces on but my mom taught me how and she cut some pizza up for me and it was really nice I ❤️ my mom 🙂
i came here because I CANT CHEW edit: this is a month later now, for those of you who are having a hard time chewing with your braces rn, believe me it gets better.
Sliqq is de4d? OMG THAT IS EXACTLY HOW I WAS. but just trust me, it will get better. for the first week, try to stick with yogurts, soups, you know soft foods. it really helps. and cold drinks help soothe the pain. :) you can dm on ig if you have anymore questions though!!!! @w.oahwoah
When you just got braces, you’ve just gotta learn that chewing is not an option. It goes in your mouth and down your throat. edit: hey guys thanks for the likes maybe drop a sub?? 🥸
Food is so difficult with braces it makes me not want to eat cause after every meal I have to floss it takes me 8 minutes to finish a chicken nugget anyone else with braces have food struggles
Yes instead of taking me 8 min to finish a nugget I had to like rip it down to little pieces and almost scream cuz of the pain so like one tiny piece of nugget took like 10 minutes
Hello this is a message from someone who has has braces for a little while now (6 months) and I want you all who are getting them they really aren’t bad after a while. I’ll be honest the first few weeks I couldn’t even bite down let alone chew after getting them on but after a few weeks I slowly began eating normally again. Another thing is people describe braces as extremely painful throughout the whole process, but so far in my experience 99% of the time my mouth isn’t hurting and it only does hurt after I get them tightened. For eating, in this video it was explained that you first of all need to cut all of your food, for example a sandwich, for me personally I have never even thought of cutting a sandwich and is able to eat one just fine with my braces. I just wanted anyone reading this who’s going to get braces soon or just got there’s on it gets better as you go and this video is over exaggerating how eating food is going to be like (I recommend to just listen to your orthodontist recommendations)
@@FluffyFrigginFox I now have my braces off, but when my mouth was dying with braces the best foods to eat (in my opinion) was Mac n cheese, soup, icecream, scrambled eggs or just anything soft like that
Seeing these comments about people relating to how difficult it is to eat is hilarious and makes me feel better about having braces and being in constant pain until it wears off
I had my braces yesterday and all I do is to swallow. I can't chew! I need to cut everything into like 1/4's of everything! Plus the steam I get and the excess wires that hurts like hell! I just grind the food with my tounge by pushing it upwards!
HELPFUL TIP: when eating your first meal after braces, do not chew like you normally do. chew softly. Like BARELY chew! Your teeth are really tender and are under a lot of pressure and your not used to it, and your teeth haven't made their first movements yet, so you need to start gentle. If you chew "hard" like you do without braces, your teeth on your upper teeth will smack in to your lower teeth and when your new to braces this hurts like f$@k. I highly recommend your first meal after braces be something not chewable, like yo gurt, apple sauce, that type of stuff. My first meal was mac and cheese and I tried to chew it and it hurt like f@$k because I wasn't given any advice Edit: braces are scheduled off next visit!
I got them today and of course my first meal was McDonald's chicken nuggets haha I legit could not figure out how to eat it lol I ended up eating it like a rabbit and it took me like an hour😂
I went for nuggets too thinking they'd be easy to eat, but it took me half an hour to eat them and the chips were cold by the time I got to them so threw them out. normally I would devour that meal in 5-10minutes
Comment section is full of people with first day of braces. Guys, calm down. We all experience it the first day. I sure did too. But it gets better over time. Don't worry about it. I just ate 2 hamburgers and it wasn't that hard. It's not gonna always be like this.
Yeah, I think I was an early bird when getting used to it. Not feeling much pain (since I guess my body was fine with it since I had something I slept with before) . Honestly, it's just a minor annoyance.
stranger. fiona I have 2 tips you can cut your food up to very small pieces (but ain't nobody got time for that) what I did I swallowed my food too😓 it's hard for the first few days but your teeth will get use to your braces soon enough and you will be able to eat properly 😉
@@sree6791 haha don't worry, its 8 weeks until my braces will be finished. soon for you, it'll feel like your teeth are normal (no pain). it only hurts after they tighten ur braces, but everytime they do it, it hurts for less time. for example after the first time u get them tightened, it'll hurt for like 2 days then the next time, maybe a day next time, maybe a day again after that its like a few hours at most
@@roku6194 thank you! For replying i was cursing at myself for wanting them today..i cud just eat bread with milk 🥲🥲🥲🥲😭🤡...honestly what you said..makes me feel better..few more days and..i ll be okay..btw..one of the bracket idk what they are called..one of the metal peice glued to my teeth is loose like its shaky..when i brush my teeth..😭😭
Braces don't hurt most of the time! You'll only experience the pain at the starting of getting your braces and whenever you go for a monthly dentist appointment! So please don't worry! You'll be fine and remember that everything is worth!
Same. I am still at the beggining, tho but i feel really bad when one of my friends or a family member eats something that i am not allowed to. I have lost some pounds since then, and because i have a fast metabolism, i am struggling to gain a few kg. It's soo frustrating lol
I’m on day three and was starting to worry I’d have to survive off soft foods for two years. Tips on what you can eat for the first few days: oatmeal, peanut butter, apple sauce, soups, mashed potatoes, pudding, yogurt
I had leftover goulash in the fridge and I turned it into a REALLY tasty soup by just pureeing it in the food processor and adding another bouillon cube. It was so good my husband finished it up (which kinda got on my nerves, because HE has choices! 🤣🤣)
I got my braces yesterday and today I had pizza with my friend, but even when I cut it up every time I chewed it felt like my teeth were gonna fall out oml im in so much pain rn, help..
I got braces yesterday and had a soft cookie right after and the bracket on the molar (I think it's a molar) came out 😭 biting my food has been hard, I'm afraid another one is going to come off. I basically just swallow most of it. What did I get myself into lol but I know it'll be worth it at the end. I'm finally going to smile without covering my mouth.
My dad bought Wendy’s, and told me it should be easy to chew. It took me 10 minutes to eat 3 chicken nuggets, the worst part is feeling like you always get something stuck in your brackets.
Ráchael woahh nice. good luck girl,😃😃 you can do it! you would feel a lot of pressure in your teeth but only stand in the 1st week of getting it, but after that, you'd feel normal..👌
hey it's me thanks for the tip, luckily I didn't get them yesterday though but I currently have removable braces and she tightened them so I'm still in pain /:
Only the first week when u first got your braces and the first week of whenever you retighten your braces are gonna hurt badly to the point where you can't bite things properly. After ur done with that first week, you can eat fairly normal again!! I really only avoid chewing gums, biting a whole apple, or eating things that are superrr hard to bite. I can eat burgers normally, ribs, crunchy fried food, peanuts, and other things normally too, so dont be scared :)
@@thebigogamer9808 i really am not!! like i said above only the first week of whenever i retighten my braces that they are gonna hurt, after that my teeth dont hurt anymore hence I can bite into things normally :) although it is pretty annoying to clean afterward bc the food get stuck in between but I just clean thoroughly 🤣
@@FluffyFrigginFox they will eventually get better, im still struggling with them a bit but you know its better suffering for a year or two rather than having to live off with bad teeth and never laughing/smiling trying to hide your teeth away
just wanted to check why I feel so much of pain and I'm feeling relaxed (infact happy) getting to know that it's okay and normal after getting braces... 🙂 we all can do this 💙
God help me, i just got my lower braces on but i cant eat even soft foods because the back teeth of my upper jaw keeps biting ON my BRACKET so it will fall of.
I just got my braces yesterday, now I have a new found respect for people who have on their braces for years. Also my relatives bought pizza and I'm thriving through the pain (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)
I had braces for 5 years and got them off a few months ago. So liberating. I don’t have to pick my molar wire with my tongue to get rid of excess food anymore!
@@kookicutie420 yeah they suck for the first month or so but you get used to them, like a new pair of shoes ya know? The worst part of having them was accidentally slicing the inside of my mouth open because multiple times the wires were exposed and were really sharp. You’ll get through it! 👍
I've had braces for 4 weeks, and anyone who has them, you'll get used to them. They aren't that bad. They might hurt at first but then the pain goes away. You might get headaches like i do and some ibuprofen will help with the pain.
I survived 2 teeth extractions but i don't think i can bear this sheer pain after i got my elastics put on with my braces. Its like every inch of my head felt the pain. I couldn't eat speak or even drink properly for a week. After a week, you think pain would go away but you just have to accept your fate and get used to it.
This is my first day of what is expected to be a 1.5 year journey... Eating is really harder than I thought especially because I have some degree of deep bite.. But still I'm really excited to see how it goes... I'm 27 I just had them put on today, my dentist told me I should've come years ago to correct my deep bite... ×_×
First day here, and I'm pretty sure I just lost a bracket from hamburger meat🤦♂️ Eating isn't so painful so far, but the dentist and assistants were telling me to prepare for soreness and sharing their stories lol
@@aqueousconch1103 it has been two weeks since I had them.. The first 3 days were the worst. The inside of my lips was hurting until I used "braces wax" (not sure if this is what it is called) to cover the pointy areas of the braces to prevent them from rubbing against my lips... it really helped for a day or two, but after that I didn't need them at all because I think my lips adapted to the braces Food was a challenge and still kinda.. You can't bite at all, you have to cut your food into little pieces and push them directly towards your molar teety to chew them ( for me I can only chew with my left molars only, the right ones hurt) God I wrote too much didn't I 😅
@@aqueousconch1103 Yeah that's y I ate hamburger without chewing them...just swallowed it and I didn't enjoy eating at all And ofc I gave up and just ate the half eventhough it wasn't painful it was just so uncomfortable and my tongue did hurt bcz of the little piece inside my mouth which was the most annoying part This is my first day
@@ashwikakochar3954 The first two to three days are the hardest... Just try to cut food into small pieces and chew with your molar teeth And try not to bite with your front teeth And don't worry, it will get easier with time
@@hisoyuno omg hey, no i haven’t gotten them off yet 😭 my bottom teeth are pretty straight tho it’s rlly just my top teeth. march of next year will be 3 years since i got them!
@@nevaeh9331 how long until they come off? I got mine two years ago and im hoping to take them off in the next few months. I've asked my orthodontist to tighten it more so hopefully i can get them off quicker but now i can't even mew on my food without being in pain..
First month is a living hell, we all agree, but after 1 year of having braces i cand proudly say ive become a pro at eating. It feels literally the same like before i got braces
Am here at the 2nd day of putting my braces as I am not able to chew properly its really painful..I just realise it down to throat without chewing it and that makes me cry.. Seeing the comments i feel a positive energy and i will share my experience after a month lol
I’ve had my braces for 2 months and have gotten so much better eating with them. At first I could barely eat a noodle, but now I can eat steak as long as I cut it up. Still can’t really bite into anything, so I have to carry a set of utensils with me everywhere 😂
Just got them yesterday + stoppers to fix my overbite and I have to swallow everything and just press my food against the roof of my mouth with my tongue to crush it
This is my first day with braces. Already eat a banana (cut into 100 pieces), a couple spoons of rice and 5 grams of chicken successfully. It's gonna be easy.
I'm a few days in and still only managing to eat hopes and prayers! One thing I will say is to drink hot drinks with a straw, that helps, unless it's scalding hot and you burn out your throat hole. Then you got bigger problems than pain from braces!
the thing is, it hurts everywhere no matter how soft the Food is. I got braces 2 days ago and all I have eaten in two days is porridge, 1/4 of a Loaf (a single piece not the entire thing), 1/8 of a hotdog bread and much water. I am starving but I cant eat help
My teeth hurt so bad that it hurt to eat anything including soft food I couldn’t even bite with my front teeth without them stinging badly. Nothing helped. I suggest being careful and waiting for about 4-5 days for the pain to start to ease. Don’t take too much pain medication if it didn’t help the first time.
I just got mine. 4th day today. Im documenting my 1st week of braces n search on utube if anybody do it too n found this video. The comment section really made my day 😆😆😆😆
I have braces for a year now and every time I go back to my dentist I always have a bracket broken😂 and I don’t do what this girl said in the video, I eat like I don’t have braces 😂
Don't worry! You'll be able to eat plenty of soft food that'll get stuck in the brackets and between the wires. It's great! You'll be happy in 2-4 years.
Its been a month for me and i advise to not eat nachos, i ate one with a non-back tooth and it hurt for many days, but i went to the orthodontist and nothing was broken. Otherwise, just eat with the back teeth. I still eat chicken with all my teeth tho because it is usually soft. I highly suggest quitting gum before you get braces so you are used to not relying on it for something to do
I got my braces yesterday. It's not painful at all but I can't chew at all because of the thing they put over the crown on the molars My right side lower and upper teeth can't touch each other and the left side can't grind . It's frustrating.
10th June 2021: I got braces today. I can’t eat :( Edit: I got my braces removed 4 days ago (23rd April 2024) And let me tell you, it’s worth it completely. The pain sucks but it’s all worth it in the end, you just gotta get through it and eventually it’ll all be over and you will be braces free :]
I was crying yesterday because I couldn’t eat and im a foodie. Food is my life. Edit: I forgot to mention that I got my braces a day or two after getting my braces!
This is day 4 of having my braces, and the only normal food I can eat is rice, and refried beans (without chewing) otherwise, I have been eating mashed potatoes
I just got my braces yesterday and i can eat dinne r just fine yesterday rice and. Roasted chiken, now im struggling to even chew a fried egg dis morning
