How can you eat food without orthodontic wax (which prevents the wire ripping my mouth)?

I would suggest drinking liquids and soft things that you dont have to chew, only swallow.
Theres this protein powder you can buy at most grocery stores and make a fruit milkshake and put some of that in there so you get nutrients.
It will get better, I promise, but the wire really shouldnt be cutting your lip if the orthodontist bended it right. Make sure before you leave at your next checkup that nothing is poking or anything. I'm sure that they could fix it for u if you ask.
Hope your mouth feels better soon. :)
 
Well ive had braces for 2 years and i never used the wax because it never stayed on. Your cheeck will eventually get used to it and you wont even feel it soon. But what you can also do is go back and have them cut the wire so its shorter and not poking you.
Good Luck!!!
 
i got braces 3 days ago and i know that i will eventually get used to the pain but i cant eat right now due to the end of the wire cutting my lip. i put wax on and it works, but i need to eat. even when i eat yogurt i can feel the end of the wire poking the inside of my mouth. it is very uncomfortable and i feel some pain. How can i eat without it hurting?
the wire is not sticking out a lot, just pokes my mouth
