    Tip for anyone who's come back from an orthodontist appointment with new wires. Eat/drink something cold. If the pain is THAT unbearable, hold some ice water in your mouth for temporary pain relief. Works like a charm.

I feel my saliva out while sleeping hehe I wokeup a few times to wipe it out.. but its gone in first 7 hours.. wish me good luck for the first 7 days as my orthodontist told me it takes 7 days to get used to it. I always tell myself NO PAIN NO GAIN. Btw I blended my food and eating my dinner.. struggling to eat aswell.. 😫 but alhamdulilah am finally happy that I have put on my braces and I have started my journey to get to my beautiful smile destination ☺ inshallah

      Just remember the pain will go away soon. Try adding some ibuprofen as an additional form of pain relief as it will help with the inflammation. Avoid letting your teeth touch together as that can cause pain, and stick with a liquid diet until it starts to improve.

      Hopefully it’s feeling better now. Pain killers and a soft or liquid diet can help. If a wire is sticking out, if it’s long enough, you could carefully press and bend on it with your finger so it points inwards and is away from your cheek. If not, as you said, a wax blob can be used until your next appointment with your orthodontist. Hope that helps, and hopefully your pain has improved.

      @@jinniepatil73 The holes with the wires going across make it very annoying to eat and food often gets stuck in there but I can eat almost anything now. Biting on bread has been the hardest for me (a soft bun gets stuck everywhere and hard bread puts pressure on the braces and it is uncomfortable and eating a lot can make it a bit painful) I haven't tried biting onto stuff like fruit or hard foods cause I'm scared but every other food I can eat it just takes me longer. The wires still rub on the cheeks; sometimes they get caught when I sleep and while I'm eating, but for the most part, the inside of my mouth got used to it, and the skin is rougher than on the rest of my mouth. In the first week, I honestly thought I would be living on soup and mash potatoes for 2 years but it's much better now

Thanks.

    • @5MinuteSchool
      @5MinuteSchool  Před rokem +1

      It's hard to say as it entirely depends on your teeth position. There likely will be some contact with the bottom brace but as your teeth shift around, the pressure may reduce. If it's too uncomfortable, then perhaps have an appointment with your orthodontist to have it looked at, but ideally stick with soft food until you can see them and it may improve.
