Braces problems? please help! ?!


Question: Braces problems? please help! ?
i have a twin block braces to help my over bite but the wire bit is digging into my gums. ouch it hurts so much. the orthodontist says i didnt need wax. what should i use to
make it feel better and stop rubbing against it. what about vaseline?

Answers:

That's silly for your dentist to say you dont need wax. The metal will rub against your cheeks no matter what and eventually you're going to get sores. Wax makes them less painful and heal faster.

As for the wire I believe you should go to your dentist and tell them you need it fixed.



Sounds like you need to see the dentist for an adjustment.
