What can i do about this really severe pain because of my braces???? help!!?
they tightened them today, but never THIS TIGHT before, the wire is about almost thick as a paper clip both top n bottom they tightened, then they put them loopy looking things near my braces[[for the elastics/rubberbands]] and its like practically holding my bite shut....this really really really hurts, what i can i do besides chew gum[[cz i cant even open my mouth to even chew]] any suggestions on meds, like advil? tyelnol or homade stuff?? =[
Answers:
every night use Peroxyl mouthwash for like a week to keep ur gums storng from cuts and use dental wax and rubber coverups so u wont get blisters, they hurt a little but arent that bad. avoid sleeping on ur side, try to keep ur head straight up for a couple of days
every morning and every night use the Peroxyl mouthwash again for 2 weeks then after that just use ACT mouthwash to keep ur teeth and gum s healthy. get some Super floss, made for braces-i sugest elictrical toothbrushes they keep ur mouth cleaner
dont worry-trust me- i have had my braces on for almost 4 years, i just got em off 4 days ago-i luv my new smile!!!
