Question:

How to cope with an orthodontic appliance?

i just got braces and an upper appliance .... this is very uncomfortable and painful ... any suggestions of what to eat with this appliance????


Answers:

If your upper appliance is an expansion appliance I am very sorry!!! I had all of those and my daughter has the expansion device and hers is not removable. My suggestion is first of all to avoid painful sores in the mouth is to see if you can get some of that wax that they put on braces and other devices. As for eating, a lot of pasta! My daughter eats a lot of Ramen noodles. Once you get past the initial pain it will be easier to tolerate. Best of luck, I know the pain you are feeling!
