[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Making your mouth colder will decrease inflammation and make braces hurt a little less. Popsicles, ice cream, smoothies and shakes galore in the first week after braces are put on. Sucking on an ice cube helps, but you have to remember not to bite down on it. Orthodontic wax can cover a bracket that’s rubbing a lip or cheek raw. Flossing with braces is challenging. Add a Waterpik to your regimen. Your dentist should be able to recommend orthodontists.[/quote] 100% agree with buying a Waterpik. We're going to make DD keep using it after her braces are gone since she otherwise wouldn't floss.[/quote]
