I have braces?!
Question:
I have braces?
i just got braces over a week ago adn it is cutting the inside of my mouth really badly wat should i do
Answers:
Well here's what I did. They were killing my gums when I first got them on, I used wax a couple of times, *wasn't a fan*. Bared the pain, and my mouth changed pretty fast to get used to it, just like your teeth get used to the braces. One thing is your teeth are moving and they will move away from the gums they are cutting. And also your gums will develop a calice and it won't hurt when they touch. And if the pain persists, or if it just doesn't look right : Go to your orthodontist and they will adjust your wire.
So to make it short and sweet here are the things I recommend :
*Bare the pain and wait for mouth and teeth to adjust.
*If you can't do that use the wax they gave you, if you have no wax you can probably find it at a store like CVS or Walgreens,
*Nothing happens in a couple weeks, go back and have them adjust the wire.
Good Luck and hope your teeth feel better =].
