Blue bands on teeth?!
Question:
Blue bands on teeth?
i just got blue bands yesterday in my teeth to make space for the next ortho appointment, so that it would be easier to do banding and stuff.....and the blue bandss hurt really bad, i cant eat anything except these boiled noodles, and also it hurts when i brush! i took a tylenol pill, but it doesnt seem to help!, it also husts when i try to spit water out, or even move my lip in the direction of the bands! any advise? or suggestions?
Answers:
Those are called spacers and they are between your molars to make room for the bands, try ibuprofen it works better with dental discomfort, just be sure you eat or drink milk, it can upset your stomach. What you are feeling like now is how it will feel every time the orthodontist tightens your braces. Lots of soup and milk shakes to get you through the first couple days.
