How can I flatten the hooks on my braces since they're hurting me?!


Question: How can I flatten the hooks on my braces since they're hurting me?
I have hooks on the inside of my bottom teeth on my braces. They're sticking out too far and cutting my tongue. I can't push them down with just my finger. What can I use? the orthodontist says I'm allowed to push them down on my own, so it won't damage my teeth or my braces.

Answers:

If you're allowed to push them down, go ahead, but make sure you don't push too hard just in case.
Or, do what I did, I used to just put wax on mine
