Chamomile tea is wonderful!. It has a natural, mild antiseptic affect!. (let it steep for about 5 minutes to get the strongest tea) Or swishing salt in your mouth for one minute every night or every other night will help your cheeks to heal FAST! It might hurt some afterward but that is the salt cleaning your wounds!. Wait as long as you can to rinse again with fresh water, so that you give the salt adequate time to do its job!. You'll also want to make an appointment with your orthodontist soon so that they can correct the problem!. Hope your cheeks heal fast!Www@Answer-Health@Com
if you put wax that the orthodontist gave you on the brace that is scarpping ur cheek then the wire will stop scraping ur cheek and it will eventually go away!. Just make sure to take off the wax before u go to bed b/c i didnt one time and it was gross when i woke up =[Www@Answer-Health@Com
start by putting wax on the sharp wires, and that should prevent more cuts, but there's not too much that you can do as for healing the current ones!. it should only take one or two days for them to heal as long as you put the wax on and they stop getting more cuts!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
you should probably schedule an appointment with your orthodontist to get the wires cut shorter!. when i had braces a few years ago, they gave me wax to put over any poking wires!. if they didn't give you anything like that, you should probably ask them if they have any,Www@Answer-Health@Com
this happened to the back of my mouth when new wires were put in!. all you can do is re-schedule an appointment if it's really that bad, which it sounds it is, and then they will cut it and everything will be better!. :DWww@Answer-Health@Com

well!.!. there should be a wax thing given by your dentist and if your cheeks are cut, put it in you braces where your cheeks are being cut!.!., but be careful though you might chew it but dont worry its edible!.!. put that wax until the cut are healed!.!. i hope that helps!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
did they give you wax!? get some if not and put it where the wire is until you can go get it cut!. you can use orajel or anbesol if it hurts!. wax can be your best friend if you have braces but dont chew gum with it!! hehe!. good luck and God bless:)Www@Answer-Health@Com
if the dentist gave you wax you can put some of that on and it could help for a while and reduce the cutting a friction!. i would also call your dentist back and have that fixed!. if not, you'll be dealing with that for a while!Www@Answer-Health@Com
If I'm correct, you should've gotten some kind of wax to put over your brackets if they were tearing up your mouth!.
I suggest you keep applying wax to the wire that's bothering you until it stops hurting you!.
I've had the same problem before!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Uh, wouldn't the easiest way to "heal" them be to call the orthodontist and tell them that what with all the money you're paying, the least they could do is fix your braces so that the inside of your mouth isn't getting all cut up!?!!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
you should go back and get them properly cut until then theres this wax you can get that you put on and it will stop it from poking and scratching!.!.i think you can get it at like the drug store or somethingWww@Answer-Health@Com
what you need to do is get braces wax and put it on the sharp part!. wait for your cheek to heal!. thats about all you can do!. your orthodondist should have the wax, or try wallgreens!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It sounds like you have a wire poking you!. Get the orthodontic wax and put it on the wire!.!.!. that should help until you can get to the orthodontist to get it fixed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
