Hello Lybrate user, the problem you are facing right now is temporary and will definitely subside completely after 7-10 days. You can use Mucopain or Dologel CT for relief from pain. Also ask your orthdontist to give you wax so taht you can apply them on inner surafce of lips facing braces. If you do not get wax, then apply vaseline, keep the inner lip lubricated. Hope this helps.Â

You can apply Dologel ointment in that region. Avoid chewing hard food. You can put little chewing gum in that region or little wax over sharp edges. Usually you get specialized wax from your dentist for the same purpose. Rinse with warm saline water. If this problem continues go back to your doctor.Â

Hello Lybrate user, the discomfort after wearing braces is normal and that pain will subside in 3 to 4 days. You need to give it sometime to get used to it. Till then you need to take soft diet, avoid chewing on hard food as it will add to the discomfort. Also you need to do warm saline water rinses to ease the discomfort. Regarding the sores, you can apply Chlorhexidine gel. Also place wet cotton near the cheek areas if you feel any sharp edges. It will take 5 to 6 days for your cheeks to get accustomed to the appliance in your mouth. On your next visit ask your Orthodontist for Orthodontic relief wax.Â
