Has anyone tried Good Vibrations or Bite Wafers for pain?
I am going to be getting braces in a few weeks and have seen the bite wafers for sale and also a thing called Good Vibrations that are supposed to help with the pain. Has anyone used either of these?

My ortho's office gave me a bite wafer when I got spacers in and when the braces went on. I used it when the spacers were really bothering me, and I found it to be rather soothing. I got braced yesterday, and while I still have spacers I haven't had the need to use the bite wafer. The assistant who helped me yesterday kept telling me that as soon as I left the office I should start biting on it to head off the pain, but I didn't, and I have been fine. You may find it soothing. Hope that helps!

I have been told that chewing gum, sugarless after an adjustment helps.....well I know that it does help too! I have a vibrating toothbrush that helps too! I did not do it this time and OMG I am stil hurting from Monday!
