Question:

What do you do if you have cuts on the inside of your cheek because of braces?

the wire is cutting my cheek!!!! i have peroxyl oral anti spectant but is there any thing else i can use??? i heard salt water works but wasn't quite sure.

i made sure the orthodontist cut the wire so that it wouldn't do this to me but it kinda shifted and it cut it...

also...
i ran out of elastics(rubber bands) for the hooks on my wires.
does any1 know where i can get them? besides the orthodontist b/c it is kinda far from my house.


Answers:

rinse your mouth with warm salt water and place wax over the braces.

take a teaspoon of salt mixed in 8oz of warm water

heal well
