I have braces and I just got a new bracket on my very back molar...? |
Issue It's so painful because my cheek rests against it all the time, and therefore the bracket has rubbed a huge hole in my cheek. It hurts so bad and it's really hard to eat. Any ideas for pain relief besides orajel or orabase? Best Tip Well, I usually take Advil. It worked for me when i had braces...I had mine taken off almost 2 years ago though. lol. Oh, and ask your orthodontist if they have "wax" to put on your braces. I know it sounds nasty, but you pinch little pieces of the wax and place them on places where your braces are bothering you and it keeps it from rubbing your gums. I used that stuff a lot, exspecially sense i played a lot of sports. Hope i helped you out. Others didn't the ortho give you wax to cover it? I have that too, and the only thing that remotely helps is to ask your ortho for oral wax, and at night time place a chunk on eac bracket to protect your cheek... but other than that there really isn't too much you can do. Didn't your ortho give you wax to press on the new brackets? If not, you should kick him in the bal_s. The Book of Jack. i feel your pain, girl. had the exact same prblm. use the wax your ortho should have given you. dont worry though, once you've had them in for while, your teeth (or maybe cheeks) move to adjust and it wont bother you anymore. for now just bare with it and you'll get through fine. hope this helps i put wax on the teeth that would rub against the hole... i got hit in the face in cheerleading one day, and i had a huge hole... it really hurt, ever to open and close my mouth, so i put wax on the brackets that would rub it... good luck! |
