Here is the week nobody describes to you before you say yes to braces.
Fitting day is uneventful. Day one and two are the tender stretch, when biting into anything firm feels like a bad idea. From day three it fades. By the end of the week most people have quietly stopped noticing.
The soreness comes from the ligament around each tooth reacting to gentle pressure. It is a sign of movement, not a sign that something has gone wrong.
Soft foods, cold water, orthodontic wax and a warm salt water rinse cover almost everything. An ordinary pain reliever taken as directed helps if you need it.
Sharp pain, soreness that lasts well beyond a few days, or a poking wire is a different story. Call us and we will sort it out.
Swipe through, then send it to whoever is getting braces this month.
