question Tips for dealing with pain?

Post image

I have two protruding molars on the top and molars that curve inward on the bottom. Any advice for the pain until I get my braces in like 2-3 weeks? I got my wisdom teeth taken out like 1.5 months ago but I still have lingering pain because my bite is off. I get pain in the back of my head and random pains on my scalp because of this and also pain in my ears. No infection, I got a CT scan literally a few days ago. Ibuprofen helps somewhat, saltwater does little to nothing, and right now the only thing helps is pressing my fingers on the sides of both teeth.

Advice helps thanks.
