  • Oh I feel your pain! I've had my braces for 18 months! The week after adjustments I take ibuprofen and eat eggs (or egg whites), cottage cheese, beans, protein shakes/smoothies, soft fruits, fish, rice and sweet potatoes. Your teeth should feel better in less than a week.

  • Congrats on coming back! Plan your meals out for each day and stick to it. Same thing with exercising.

Good luck - the first week is ALWAYS the hardest!
