I would put the bonjela on. You don't want to go to the orthodonist and be in sudden shocking pain? I would put it on every so often until your appointment. It is better to be safe than sorry.
It would be best to cancel the appointment, wait for the ulcers to heal. If it is to last to cancel I would consult the Orthodontist for the best course of action before you go, call early. Good luck.
Just tell your Ortho guy that you have ulcers and are worried about pain management. Either he'll give you extra numbing medicine, be extra careful or recomend a good treatment plan. No need to suffer unnecessarily.
Rather than cancel the appointment< I think you should call the Orthodontists office and have someone ask him or her what is the best course of action to take. You may need to be on some oral medication for a week or so before you have them tightened to prevent the infection from getting worse. Since the Ortho is trained in this type of problems it is better to get advice from them. They may even want you to go in and have him look at your mouth and reschedule the actual tightening for another day. Good Luck!
Don't know what bonjela is....
Honestly...... you should call the orthodontist place and tell them you have ulcers, and ask them what you should do !
When I had braces I got "ulcers" but it was more the braces scraping against my cheeks.
If ulcers are an issue I think you should still go, and chances are.....the ortho can help you with them!!!
I would call them....
