Braces Problem

2020-02-05 15:34:57
Hi, this is my 6th day of wearing braces and it doesn't hurt anymore but whenever I eat and try to chew, it gets painful and really hard to eat. When can I eat normal again? Food like boneless chicken, etc.

Hi It is common to have discomfort during braces treatment....it is good to avoid non veg items during braces treatment and even if you eat fruits make it cut in to pieces and then chew...you will get used to it after some weeks.....

Braces exert some forces on teeth so it becomes painful. It lasts for 7-10 days. You will experience the same pain and discomfort after every appointment of braces. Do not worry much about it.
