that happened to me too but the doc. fixed it you should make another appointment to get it fixed

Definitely go to the orthodontist. If it only hurts a little bit, then it shouldn't be too serious, and I would just wait until your next appointment. If the pain is really severe, though, take an emergency appointment with the orthodontist. When you get it fixed, be very careful when brushing. I didn't realize it, but when I was brushing with my electric toothbrush, I was actually pushing my wire out, so it would always be poking me.

Braces :(



Everybody experience the discomfort of having new braces, thus the wax.
Get your dentist to check your mouth and it might be wise to buy a mouth was that has a numbing effect as well as a antiseptic such as Cepacain.
You will have to put up with the application of the wax. A help full hint is to dry the area before you apply as the wax slides across with the wetness.



go to the dentist. If you ave a lose wire. It well eventually create a ulcer in your mouth.
