Answers:
You could do what Beach Lover said, and if that doesnt work, get a small piece of paper towl, wet it, and stick it on the wire!. It works like wax!. Make sure to call your orthodontist as soon as possible to tell them, so you can get in and get it fixed!.

Pencil erasers do work!. However, you will want to contact your orthodontist tomorrow about this!.

These wires that stick out at the back of your mouth are normally covered with a tiny blob of hard plastic-like substance that the orthodontist puts there!. If the blob is dislodged, you will swallow it (it won't hurt you) and the wire will start poking you!. Wax won't help!.

When my braces wire started poking me on a Friday night (no orthodontist in sight, unfortunately!) I took a set of toenail clippers and cut the very end off, then packed it with wax!. My orthodontist said it was fine to do this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Push the wire in with the tip of a pencil eraser!.!.!.!.!.Hope this Helps! Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
