During orthodontics, it is very painful. What should I do?

1, I ate something soft the other day. Most orthodontic pain occurs in the first 24 to 72 hours of braces. In the first few days, eat some very soft food and don't chew too much until you get used to eating with braces. Soup, applesauce, mashed potatoes and other foods are all good choices.

2. Eat cold or frozen food, such as ice cream. Ice cream will bring you comfortable enjoyment. You can also suck ice cubes. Put an ice cube in your most uncomfortable place. Freezing ice cubes will help numb your mouth and reduce possible inflammation. Many braces are thermally reactive, which means that eating hot food will tighten braces and cause pain. Or, you can let your baby teether, chew or rest in your mouth. This will also provide some relief. Don't chew ice or ice. Hard food can damage brackets and weaken the adhesion of teeth. You can also try drinking ice water.

3. Avoid acidic drinks and food. For example, acidic foods and drinks containing citrus will aggravate oral ulcers or other oral discomfort.

4. Avoid hard or sticky food. Don't eat certain kinds of food, so your braces may break, causing some irritation and extra expenses. Hard and sticky food should be avoided.

5. rinse your mouth with salt water. Salt water will calm your mouth and cure any pain caused by braces rubbing your cheeks. Repeat several times a day, especially in the first few days, or when you feel more painful than usual.
