How do I get rid of pain in braces from rubber bands?

I had my jaw replaced last year, and my mouth isn't completely aligned yet. My orthodontist put on rubber bands on my braces, and they hurt so bad, I can't take it. The only relief is when I take them out to sleep or eat. Please help me.

    You need to keep them in if you want them off sooner. an ibprofen or any other pain med will work. i especially like motrin it works and tastes yummy lolz

    take some tylenol or advil... WEAR THEM i know it hurts a lot... :/ but in a couple of days you wont even realize they're there. if you don't wear them constantly then you'll never get used to them and thats just gonna make things worse
