recently got braces fitted..?!


Question: Recently got braces fitted..?
Hi i got my braces fitted wednesday after and its now friday and they KILL. Also i know braces do cut your gums but i think my cuts are a bit extreme.. its all along the side of my mouth, from the wire at the back and litterally does just stop before my mouth (if that makes sense) Theres like a big chunk missing (fairly deep) and 4 ulcers but then the cuts longand is bleeding alot too.the wire is very sharp i cut my finger on it.
Its still digging into the cut and its so sore i cant speak properly its hurts that bad!
I have tried wax but it DOESNT stay on any ways that worked for you?
i guess i can deal with the aches but still any ways of making it any more less achy?

I cant eat AT ALL because my front tooth is quite bad so that one hurts too bad to bite with then at the back each time i open my mouth/chew the wire digs into my cut.. and my back teeth have glue on them (to lift my jaw up kind of cause one bracket was catching on the bottom teeth) so i cant use my back teeth :( how long do you think it will be till i can eat like normal again?

Will my teeth be like this everytime i get them tightened?
or will i slowly get used to it?

thanks for any help! :)

Have you tried some of the common home remedies for stopping your gums from bleeding? Such as salt and warm water, hydrogen perioxide and water, or vinegar. I would try these before going to a dentist, because mild gingivitis can be cured at home.

yes your teeth will hurt after you get your brace tightened, but you do get used to it!
its best to eat really soft foods & take pain killers.
if the wire is digging in your your need to go back & have it cut!

you should have wax? too put on your brace to stop it bothering you
hope this helps!
