2-3 days for me.
First time coming home was around 6pm after the appointment. I was prepared to feel pain, although it wasn't too bad because I didn't begin to eat yet. I've heard about many experiences before so I requested my mom to make noodles which she agreed on. I took a bite and it hurt like hell.. lol it literally was the most pain i've had from my teeth. From then on it never hurt so bad though. In 2-3 days it got better, and when they tightened them it didn't hurt at all for me

Take a Advil then eat. Thats what I did.

Forgot to add, I was like 9, my birthday party with all the tasty foods was the next day. /sad

I ate immediately. damn braces never stopped me. I want that steak so bad i started mashing it against the roof of my mouth.

I just had wisdom teeth surgery, and that hurt less actually lol. Although I have 4 holes in my mouth, i could eat solid food comfortably the day i got back from the surgery room.

I hate beaces too.
OT. 1-3 for me. I might have to get them back on because I haven't been wearing a retainer

Omg i just changed my braces
Ugh the dentist said i could take them off today
But he wasnt there because he only works on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday
So i still have braces
First time it took two days to eat but about 5 days to eat NORMALLY
Monthly Change : You get used to it so they dont hurt

@Vinathi:
Cháo with nước mắm gets boring.
Try different kinds of cháo like cháo cá, cháo lòng, or cháo g� .
It depends on how chewy the chicken is, though, for cháo g� .

chao with duh nuoc mam 24/7

a day and a half to 2 days for me.

Thanks

My 14 y/o sister says: 2 days

I ate mash potatoes for 3 weeks stright. Now I hate mashed potatos.

It took about 2-3 days. Eating at school those days was not fun, but soon enough you'll be able to eat things just fine.

And then they tighten them and the cycle continues.

Although after a certain point they won't hurt after being tightened.

It was about a week for me.
For that week I'd just rip stuff with my fingers or cut it with a fork and place at the back of my mouth so I could just chew it.

K thanks

Just eat whatever braces aren't that bad.

Like 2 days for me...
i swallowed noodles on the first day

My friend had to eat little baby food cracker-like things. Melt-in-your-mouth bad!
