If you have braces, you may find that they rub against the insides of your cheeks or lips. Sore spots on the inside of your mouth can develop because of this, especially in the first days and weeks.
The best way to treat this is simply by applying a little dental wax to your braces. The wax helps to make a barrier between your lips, cheeks, tongue and gums – it’s easy to apply but we’ll talk you through it during your appointment and give you a supply to take away. Basically it makes the whole process a lot more bearable – and after a couple of weeks, you should find you don’t need it at all.
