Awww hang in there. Don't you have any wax to put on your brackets? I never used it, but I've heard it helps with the rubbing on the inside of your cheek thing. Try eating more mashed up food (eg potato) or using painkillers or something. It gets better, trust me!

Yeah dude, all I ate was Greek yogurt for the first little while. Even chewing a slice of (untoasted!) bread was nearly impossible at the beginning. Chin up, and get some Advil up in there!

Hang in there your cheeks will toughen up or at least you wont notice it anymore. I had my braces for 5 months now and it does get better. I carry my toothbrush and wax all the time in my purse.
