Is this because of my expander?!
Question: Is this because of my expander?
So I got braces and an expander two days ago. Yesterday and today I've felt like my breath smelled (I wasn't talking much because my mouth hurt so much so its okay haha) but I was wondering if this is just temporary because I just got my expander and braces on? I brush my teeth really well every night and every morning too. It's probably because food is stuck in my expander but won't that mean that it will smell forever?? has anybody else had this?
Answers:
From my experience, this is just temporary. I felt the same way when I got Invisalign. I think it will go away but if it doesn't in a week, I'd talk to your orthodontist!
