If a bracket becomes loose, it may remain attached to the wire. Use orthodontic wax to stabilize it until you can visit our office. - Poking or Broken Wire
If a wire is poking your cheek or gums, carefully push it back with a clean pencil eraser or cotton swab. Orthodontic wax can also help cover sharp edges. - General Discomfort or Soreness
Some soreness is normal, especially after adjustments. Rinsing with warm salt water and taking over-the-counter pain relievers can help.
