How long will the braces poke me?!


Question: How long will the braces poke me!?
I just got braces today and for all my molars my dentist put a ring instead of brackets!. Because my right top molar is so huge (she needed a size 35+ ring apparently) she put a bracket instead and now its really poking! I have wax which helps, but how long will this go on for!? Or should i talk to my orthodontist!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had braces four years!. They poke you!.!.I got my cheek caught on a wire (When your teeth shift each time you have an adjustment made they usually use wire clippers to clip the wire coming out the backs of the rings)!. I had power chains, tie wires to manually turn two teeth, rubber bands!.!.you name it!. It sucked!.!.!.my bottom teeth shifted, but my tops are great!. The wax sucks!. I hated it!. It gets gummy, falls off ect!. I hate to say it if it isn't anything wrong with how a bracket was put on you're stuck with a pokey spot!. You do get used to it!. I suffered 4 years!.!.!.most of my friends 1- 1/2 years!. Its not that bad!. I knew people that cried after adjustments!. They aren't that bad!. I was eating hard food the day after!. Those rings!.!.most people I know had them!. You will eventually not notice they are there!. I would just check with the ortho about anything being mis-aligned on your teeth ect!. If they say no suck it up, and look forward to the day they come off!.

Trust me they won't annoy you too long!. And when you get them off its even weirder!. Your teeth feel loose, and it feels totally weird to not have them there anymore!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I didnt think the wax helped at all when i had braces sumtimes when i went back coz i woz in so much pain there was nothin they could do about it and said its just an uncomfortable process how ever twice when i did go back there was something wrong with the brace so it might be worth going bck to check if somthing is wrongWww@Answer-Health@Com

no matter how long you had the braces, they should never really poke you!. ask your dr!. to do an adjustment, talk to him!. i know they are uncomfortable, but you should not have to go through that!.
talk to your orthodontistWww@Answer-Health@Com

I have had braces for 5 years and they poked me on and off the whole time!. you need to talk to your orthodontist and get some wax!. put it on the parts that are poking you and you will feel much better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The skin inside your mouth will toughen up a little!. I found that after a couple of months I didn't need the wax!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
