Braces poke??


Question:
my braces poke the side of my cheek and the wax dosnt rly hold. how do i get it to stop poking? every1 ses ill get used to it but i cant imagine ignoring it..HELP

Answers:
If you dont dry the tooth before you put the wax on it'll never stick, so you have to dry the tooth really well
you need to go back to the dentist and tell them to trim the ends of the wire. they probably left it to long
welll i've never gotten braces be4,
but my cuzin has and she said it really
doesnt hurt at all!
she said it hurts at first then it goes away slowly
Your wires may be too long in the back. You should talk to your orthodontist and ask if he can clip them shorter. If it is only poking your cheeks. If it is all over then this might not be the problem. There is a product called Rincenol that helps ease the pain for awhile. It is a rinse and can be found in most drugstores.
