It is my first day in brace( Got mine on yesterday afternoon)
I didn't feel much soreness right after, only a bit wierd about the braces sticking out, and hardly have my lips cover them up.

The sore did came today... as I try bitting up and down gentally, the sore went away a bit.

The only problem is that I was trying to floss last night since my ortho told me that it was so important to floss with brace on, but my teeth are so sore that I can't touch them..

As for food...I just can't take only soft food. I'd rather pain to death not hungry to death... So I had some beef(well cooked), bread... I wounld try hard to bit down on my food enjoy it and leave the soreness and the pain for clean it up for latter on!

I am so happy just thinking about my teeth are moving to their new home even when I am in sleep, and ***days later, I will have pretty smile..

    You're doing well bobo and it's much better to chew to help get rid of discomfort, than to baby your teeth with soft food.

    Keep trying to floss ... it will get better and then it will get faster and easier. Flossing is also a great way to find movement, for example you can tell when teeth move apart, or move closer together ... things that aren't usually noticable by looking in a mirror.

    Keep focusing on the results you're looking forward to and that will help you get through your treatment much more easily!

    I couldn't floss at all the first two days - my soreness was delayed like yours too. It will get better!
