Your First Visit

Broken Bracket
If it is still attached, gently push the bracket back onto your tooth with a cotton swab. Then, apply orthodontic wax so it stays in place. You can purchase orthodontic wax in major grocery stores or pharmacies. Make sure to avoid sticky or hard foods. If necessary, rinse your mouth with saltwater to help any cuts or sores heal faster.
Poking Wire
With a cotton swab, push the wire so it’s flat against the tooth. If the wire cannot be positioned more comfortably, cover it with relief wax. As a last resort, you can also cut the wire using a pair of clippers, but make sure to have a tissue or gauze nearby to catch the wire afterwards.
Oral Pain & Soreness
After braces have been affixed or adjusted, it is completely normal to have some dental soreness for a day or two. During that time, you can stick to a soft diet and rinse your mouth out with warm salt water. However, this soreness should not last any longer than that. If soreness persists beyond this point, take over-the-counter pain relievers and contact our orthodontic office right away.
