Eating
- Cut food into small bites
- Soft foods are easiest
- Remember hard/sticky foods can damage braces
Comfort
- It may take a few days to adjust to your braces
- Your teeth may be slightly sensitive at first
- If necessary, use Advil, Tylenol, or Aleve as directed to relieve any initial discomfort
- A small piece of wax on your brackets may help until the cheeks have "toughened"
- Warm salt water rinses help
