- PAIN RELIEF AID: Gishy Goo is a silicone pain relief aid specifically crafted to prevent and ease pain and irritation. Using Gishy Goo will give you instant relief from the discomfort of razor-sharp braces and brackets cutting into your skin by protecting soft tissues such as gums, lips, and cheeks.
- LASTING COMFORT FOR EACH SMILE: The experience of a wire scraping the edge of your cheek throughout the day can be a painful one. Put a stop to it with Gishy Goo, from Ultradent! Gishy Goo stays in play for up to 12 hours for relief that lasts longer than your average dental wax. That's a lot of comfort in one package!
- DELICIOUS BUBBLE GUM FLAVOR: No one has ever said that dental wax tastes good. That is until Gishy Goo, of course! Gishy Goo has a delicious bubble gum flavor so that you can feel pain relief without the stale taste in your mouth of wax. Pain relief has never been quite so tasty!
- HASSLE-FREE APPLICATION: No more messing with dental wax for hours on end. With Gishy Goo, it's easier, faster, and mess-free. Simply squeeze a pea-size amount from the syringe, mix it for 10 seconds and place it over the appliance. Talk about a hassle-free pain relief experience!
- DESIGNED FOR EASE: This new and improved replacement for dental wax was designed with specially formulated poly-vinyl-siloxane elastomer. This unique material is simple to use. Plus, it is easier to place and remove than dental wax. Gishy Goo comes in a one-patient kit, is tooth colored for inconspicuous relief, and comes in a syringe for easy access.

All of the wax I've gotten from orthos have been sub par. Spring for the Gum brand, it's not as soft and melty as the cheap stuff. Even better is if you can find Gishy Goo. It's a soft silicone that sticks way better than wax, and I was even able to eat with it in. Here it is on Amazon, but it's unavailable: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002EA8RH2?vs=1
Milkshakes will be fine if you at least rinse with water after. I ate a lot of chunky soups and protein shakes when my teeth hurt. My biggest hurdle when I got braces wasn't so much the pain, but learning how to manage food. Like how to chew and get food unstuck. It takes practice! The water pik was a life saver.
Assemble a To Go kit with these things:
-Travel toothbrush
-Small tube of toothpaste
-Your floss of choice (I used Superfloss, but regular floss plus threaders works too)
-Handheld mirror
-Proxabrush
-Pick-a-dent (like these: http://www.amazon.com/DISPOSABLE-PERIODONTAL-HOME-CARE-DENTICATOR/dp/B000W6GO2U)
I purchased a dentakit when I got my braces and it has served me well for 3 years. It comes with lots of stuff, but what I listed above is what I used most often. You can buy it here: http://m.dentakit.com/denforad1.html
Hope that helps, and congratulations on starting the process!
Got both top and bottom linguals less than 3 weeks ago.
The tongue got used to all of this in about 10 days. It gets better quickly. Even though it's been only 3 weeks from me, when I'm not eating or talking I'm not even noticing that I have braces. As I mentioned I have both top and bottom so the discomfort should be greater for me, yet it has gone away completely for me.
What really helped the first few day is using using wax. Just place it on the spots of the braces that scrape/scratch your tongue. For me it was only 2 spots that really scraped it.
This product worked best for me:

It's called Gishy Goo. You could use regular dental wax if you can't find gishy goo.
