I just got braces 2 days ago, what can I do (other than using wax) to help the ulcers?
Answers:
give it a week, i know it hurts, but u get used to it...sorta. i know it's weird to suddenly have metal in ur mouth, but just relax and try to adjust. trust me, u'll have ulsers the entire time (ur braces can get caught on the inside of ur cheek, lips, tongue etc.) but they don't hurt at all after awhile. if the ulsers are still extremely painful, u should check with ur orthadontist, because thre could be a bigger problem, but it's probably normal...sry if that didn't help at all...it's just teh candid truth though
to help them heal faster wash you mouth out with salt water
I had braces when I was younger. The first couple weeks are bad, but then your mouth gets used to them. There really isn't much you can do until then but use your wax. Just know this won't be forever.
OMG. so did i. i got mine on the 29th and so far, i've been buying bendy straws. it's easier to get the drinks to my mouth. try getting a cup of warm water and mix it with some salt. use the straw and gargle some of that water. then, spit it out. do this until you finish the whole cup. if that doesn't relieve it, then try getting a product to form a protective film over it so it can heal quickly. don't worry, you and i both will get used to them soon.
try salt water...it will help.try not to move your lips a lot, it will reduce friction.and drink with straw if possible
