Answers:
wax doesnt work for me so yer but if it does use that or get a teething gel like sm33 or bonjela etc!. or if the wire is really fustrating you bend it with the end of a pencil or use the end of your toothbrush!. good luck :>Www@Answer-Health@Com
I also had braces!!! And i had a problem pretty close to this!! Except the ortho was always in his office "Monday-Friday" but it was a weekend and i had to wait!.!. Anyways!.!.!. What i would do it just get some wax and put it over any part that is poking you!!! That will at least get you through!! Also get some oragel!.!.!. This will numb your cheek!! It should help to ease the pain of the poking!!! Good Luck :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
When I had braces and a similar incident like this occurred, I used wax to cover the tip of the wire!. My orthodontist gave me a small package/envelope of wax each time I went in for new bands!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
