I'm sorry, hun. I've had just about every orthodontic device at one point or another, and none of them are comfortable (I once had an emotional breakdown because I tried to eat macaroni and cheese a couple hours after getting an expander, but the darned contraption made it too awkward. I was young though, so I guess its somewhat acceptable. :P)

anyway, what I'm trying to get at is that I've been there, done that. So here's a list of food that I ate whenever my teeth hurt too much to chew.

~Macaroni and cheese. Cook the noodles a bit longer than what's called for, so that they get really soft. then you can just kinda smush them with your tongue and the roof of your mouth

~Ice cream. This was my go to treat whenever I had orthodontic work done. The cold helps numb the pain.

~Pudding/jello. No chewing needed!

~Mashed potatoes

~Oatmeal

~Yogurt

~Peanut butter, right off the spoon. YUM!

~raspberries are soft enough that you can just mush them between your tongue and the roof of your mouth.

Hope that helps!
