What is the strongest wire you can have on your braces?

My braces wire is poking me, what do I do?

  • So I've had braces for a while and before this wire would leave like a mark inside my cheek and my orthodontist said this will happen all the time so I've now learned to suck it up. But lately this wire is poking me so hard that I have this big blister and on that blister i have another blister and the wire is poking the center of the second blister. When i asked my orthodontist, she said not to worry about it, the pain will eventually go away and it hurts really bad right now. My sister threw away all the wax, so i don't know what to put on it to stop poking me. Any suggestions? Oh and yes I know not to clip the wire so please don't say that.

  • Answer:

    i always get this with my braces, go to your orthodontist and buy some wax, they should sell it there in little strips, it helps! or i suppose if its hurting really bad now, you could find some clean blue-tac or chewing gum, and put it on there so it acts like wax? hope this helped! and i hope the pain goes soon as well... its horrible i know :(

You don't have to suck it up. Tell your parental units. You can go to your orthodontist and have them cut the little extra piece off, and you can also ask them to provide you with strips of wax. The wax is also at pharmacy type stores like CVS, Walmart, RiteAid, etc. Then you can get a small piece of it, roll it in a ball and attach it to the area. That's what my orthodontist did when I was younger. Good luck.

This is normal I had the same problem what you could do is go to the chemist and ask for bonjela. Bonjela Original and Bonjela Cool are oral gels, aimed to relieve the pain of mouth ulcers and denture sores.

If it really bothers you, go back to your orthodontist, and have him cut, maybe it's too long.
