Braces *HELP*?

Right yesterday I had my brace tighten (no big) I also had a "6 attached do-dar" which is attached to the hook thing (on the left side) along to every tooth to the large incisor on the right side (its see-through) - it’s acting like the coloured bands. However i'm in agony! My mouth didn’t feel in this much pain ever, I was a lot pain when I had it put on May last year, but to this pain it was nothing. I’ve been taking 2 paractamol every 4 hours, and it doesn’t seem to work. I can’t eat anything which even looks like it may need chewing and I’m having great difficulty brushing my teeth I either break down in tears because of the pain or I have to stop. Ive tried that bongela or whatever it’s called and it did NOTHING! The dentist said it would hurt a little, for a few hours; I had it done about 24 hours a go and it hasn’t got any better! I feel like if i ripped out all my top teeth id be in less pain.
Please any help!!

It sounds like you either have a power chain or a TP elastic, which are both used to close space. (I'm thinking it's a power chain) The fact that your still in pain means it must be working well. You may be sore like this for up to 4 days. Do you have a lot of spacing in between you teeth? You can call your orthodontist and see if he recommends any pain relievers and sometimes they can even write you a prescription. I hope you feel better sweetie.

Just chill. Braces can be painful, yes. I had them. You just need to suck it up and take a deep breath and relax. The pain will be worth it in the end. Keep takin aspirin and swish warm water around your mouth now and then. Stick to eatin yogurts and stuff. I guarantee you you'll be almost back to normal in a couple days. Your teeth are just tight but they'll adapt and loosen in a bit.
firstly, try taking something stronger, paracetamol doesnt seem to work very well.
if it still hurts after a couple of days, go back to the dentist, they'll tell you what to do
Pain is one of the things that has to happen to get the treatment done. But if its causing to many problems go back to your dentist, he might be able to prescribe some better painkillers or slighly loosen them.
sorry! i get braces on tuesday.i don't have them yet
Think of the beautiful teeth you'll get soon. The pain will go away in about 1 week
