Braces problem PLEASE HELP!?!


Question: Braces problem PLEASE HELP!?
Ok, so I have braces and I recently got little hooks put on. One of the hooks broke and poked the inside of my bottom lip for 2 days. It formed a big yellow-green sore thing. Now I fixed the hook stabbing me, but my braces still rub against my sore and it hurts like mad! It's been 4 days and the sore is still here. What should I do?

Did the orthodontist give you a little packet of braces WAX? You just break off a bit, roll it into a ball and stick it over the part/s of the braces that's rubbing on the sore. Works wonders for me. :)



I'm pretty sure contacting your brace dentist will get you an emergency appointment to get it fixed.

Sadly braces are generally really uncomfortable and painful, and something you have to just put up with. I used to take painkillers to easy the pain of my brace, and I'm not sure if yout dentist gave you some but normally you get some sticks of wax/greasey stuff to rub on the places your brace is hurting you



Ok well, you may want to put ice on your lip or mouth or whatever. Drink tons of water, brush your teeth, and if that orthedontist work, go see your dentist or orthedontist, they will tell you exactly what u have to do, but all u need is patience..... :P

mm, i have had braces for about 2 years now , and have gone through the same thing.
