Lucy Rinaldi the are giving your teeth a workout. What ever you usually take for aches and pains should take the edge off. Like they say, Nothing worth doing is every easy. Best of luck with everything.
East Tennessee Orthodontics yeah I’ve noticed that my teeth seem loose. The pain is mild but it doesn’t help that the plaque toothpaste that they gave me, I’m allergic to.
From what I’ve read about online and what I’ve heard from my orthodontist, there are no side effects of the tooth paste. So it must be something in the tooth paste that I’m allergic to. All I know is that I can’t use it with out having a allergic reaction
Y Fiefiw the best way to keep traditional wax from falling off is to use a bigger piece than you think you need and to dry to area the best you can before you put it on. Try and squeeze the wax underneath something to help it hold like a braces hook or another undercut. If that doesn’t work their are a few products that should stick better. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07CW18VVS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1529578829&sr=8-1&keywords=orthodots+clear&dpPl=1&dpID=515j6k-gzsL&ref=plSrch www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002EA8RH2/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1529579000&sr=8-1&keywords=gishy+goo&dpPl=1&dpID=21VYebpHxML&ref=plSrch

Thank you. I appreciate the time and effort you spend too on replying to the comments. I find both the video and comments quite useful for a beginner in braces world!

I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I repent of my sins. I will worship you all the days of my life.I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior.I receive it and Believe it in Jesus Powerful Name, AMEN❗️.
At my last appointment, one of my wires was cut at an angle, so it is really sharp and has cut up my cheek a bunch causing blisters. Today I finally decided to use wax on the bracket and it really helps. Luckily I have my next appointment in 6 days, so I can get my wire changed. This is the most excited I have ever been to get my braces tightened. :)

Thanks for this. After I got my braces on and a day later every time I would chew or talk I would end up biting the side of my cheek, then orthodontist gave me wax but I didn’t know what it was for until I found this video, it helped a lot. Thanks
I’ve had braces for months now and the first week or so it can hurt a bit try to eat a diet of yogurt soup maybe bread if you can tolerate the pain Eat a big portions of food before getting braces on because after a few hours it will eventually start to hurt I recommend Taking a pain killer before getting braces btw feel free to ask me anything about braces I have experience folks but if you’re getting a expander too like I did I had my expander and braces at once and I would say it feels weird the expander because there’s is a it of pressure food can also get stuck in your expander for that I recommend getting some things called “Jordan clean between sticks” the small plastic one they are cheap what I did was I broke the thin plastic end off and it’s really good to get things out of my expander Now as always have a great day people 👍

I really need some advice or if any of you know... I just got my top braces a day ago and I picked the worst colors together dark blue and light blue it looks like I’m missing teeth lol in march there gonna out my bottom braces and I wanted to know, if I ask them if they can change the color of my top braces will they do it cause these colors are not it 😭
They should change your colors to new ones every time you visit your orthodontist for regular visits. If you call your orthodontist tell them you made a horrible color choice and ask really nicely I bet they’ll change your top color before March. 😁
AmauriXI you can keep it in as long as it will stay. It will probably come out as you eat and you need to remove it to brush. It won’t hurt you to eat and will just pass right through.
I just received my Braces this morning and as expected, I will feel some mild discomfort. Is it okay for me to use the Wax for this cause? Or should i let the natural pain wear off in a few days like most braces do.
My wires are wiggly idek why but there not coming off so it hurts when I bend it cause it pokes my cheek a lot n I lost the wax n imma try going to the store to buy wax I told my mom about it she said we can't Cause my sisters teacher coming tomorrow (she fractured her ankle) so I put paper inside my mouth it hurts😭 n i still ate
valeria sanchez sounds like you may need your wires trimmed. You can try cotton balls if you don’t have wax. That will probably work better than paper.
I have a band thing that is on top of my bracket and it connects to the back teeth because i had a tooth taken out. But i dont know how to put the gum on top of the band because its rubbing my inner cheek ? What should i do?
Dakota Brownjohn we order our braces and some come with hooks. They are there wether we use them or not. You orthodontist may be able to bend them in or remove them if you are not getting bottom braces
Dentists think that we can put the wax that easily. We have a cheek and skin around our braces so how the hell are we suppose to put it in our actual mouth. In that model there is no cheek and skin around that’s why it is that easy for you.
The Monster legends Gaming sorry much harder to video in the mouth too. As someone that’s had braces a few times and a kid who has braces now, a mirror can help you place it. For my son I tend to help him put it on.
Tanky_Tonk depends where the uncomfort is coming from. It you feel discomfort is coming from the braces rubbing the cheeks or pushing on the cheeks then wax can be a big help.
My dentist put braces on me and said that my x ray is just to follow. I'm terrified bcos x ray is a must before getting braces right?? 😖 Am I going to be fine or what huhu
Not all dentists are orthodontist (specialist who go to school and extra 2-3 years after dental school to learn how to move teeth). Dentist can still put on braces but don’t have as much training. Xrays prebraces are standard of care. If you didn’t get one or they don’t have a current one for you you need one. Most people are fine and it doesn’t change plans but we occasionally find things that change plans and we use them to verify healthy teeth and bones before we begin treatment.
@@easttennesseeorthodontics9389 I'm so afraid rn bcos I can't go have my X ray due to COVID. Is it urgent to have one? Plus I have bruxism, I can bite I think 3 brackets and my dentist's appointment is full every day I can't get one. It's too painful and I'm so afraid, I think I'm not going to be fine :((
Mist Elly every dentist office should have the ability to take at least some xrays. Not sure why they need you to travel an hour to take an X-ray. Do you live in America or another country?
Pinnaclenoob you are fine to eat with it on. If it comes off just replace as needed. Sometimes you need it to help with rubbing while your eat. It won’t hurt you if you swallow some wax.
Just got my braces today but the upper part 1st with 2 springs attached...bottom part on next appointment..got 4 teeths extracted..ouch !!! So far its hurting abit because it touched my cheeks and kinda sore right now..
Is it safe to sleep with a large piece of wax on the brace? In another video an orthodontist said it could choke or block an airway if it came loose during sleep?
i just got my braces 3 hours ago, the dentist put 2 wax on 2 of my back teeth(not on the braces itself) to prevent me from fully closing my teeth, now the wax are stuck i cant get them out, am i supposed to wait for it to dissolve or something
Hey I have a question. I just got my braces on Monday. Whenever my mouth is in resting position, my teeth, especially the molars and premolars, are clamping down on my inner cheeks. I don't if that makes sense. Like when I'm keeping a straight face, my back teeth is biting down on my inner cheeks. I have to always be aware and correct it but it makes me uncomfortable when I do because then my mouth will no longer be 'resting'. It just started yesterday. I don't know of it's the braces working its magic or it's because I sleep on my jaws at night, that is my cheeks on the pillow, that is causing my jaws to shift and offset my jawline. Please reply
Henry Ijeoma I’m not sure and could only speculate. This sounds like a question for the orthodontist treating you. Most of these things are just initial adjustments to having braces and will get better.
So I got a metal arch under my tongue and it’s rubbing on my tongue( I’ve had braces for 3 months and I’ve never had this problem), do I do the same thing ?
SpeXXah _ that’s a tough one. Most of the time it’s hard to get wax to stay in that place. Your orthodontist may need to take a look or see if they can figure out if they can make it better
I just got my top braces today, they don’t necessarily hurt as bad because I guess I’m used to the pain from the expanders, but is a weird tingling feeling from the hook normal? Is wax needed?
Anusha Shrestha the pain may get a little worse tomorrow before it gets better. Wax is never required. It’s nice to have for irritations if you need it. Not sure about the tingling feeling. Give it a few days.
DaReal Princess it can be for both. Pain. Is usually from running from the braces or poking of wires. These can both develop into sores. Wax can help for pain or with sores if they develop.
It will usually last a day or until you eat a big meal in your mouth. Just replace as you need to. In the pack it last forever unless it gets too hot and melts.
@@easttennesseeorthodontics9389 The wax works wonders I am so Glad I am using it, will be recommending it to my Dentist 🦷 to give to her other patients
Just got my braces yesterday and it hurts like hell 😭 didn't expect to hurt this much. Any idea to ease pain than thylenol or ice cream since my lil bro ate my ice cream earlier 😑
You can take both Tylenol and Ibuprofen(Advil) at the same time as long as you are sensitive to that medication. Tell your little bro he need to buy you some more Ice Cream though. 😁
Brian Hernandez should be fine and if you swallow it in your sleep, no big deal. Because your mouth dries out at night braces tend to stick and run more.
When we apply braces we have to make the teeth really dry so the braces will stick. This can dehydrate teeth and make feel dry and sometimes brings out some white color. They should rehydrate in about 24 hrs. See if the white stain goes away. If it doesn’t let your orthodontist know at you next appointment. Can compare it to the photos of before you had braces and see what has change or not changed.
You can. I’d probably try and change it out at least daily. It can pick up food particles and bacteria if left i too long. It also doesn’t stick as well
I just got my braces a couple hours ago and they hurrrttt

I got my lower braces on thursday last week and they where hurting like hell, but now it hurts sometimes so i’m good
My braces thankfully didn’t hurt, but the wires are cutting the inside of my cheeks and its been hell, hopefully this will help
Wax can help with that. If you feel like the wire is long then they may need to be trimmed. Your orthodontist can get you fixed up.
@@easttennesseeorthodontics9389 yes im definitely telling them to trim them, thanks for the video! The wax is saving my life rn
You’re welcome. Wax is great for brackets and a temporary fix for wires until you can get it trimmed.
Hey I have a question. I just got my braces on Monday. Whenever my mouth is in resting position, my teeth, especially the molars and premolars, are clamping down on my inner cheeks. I don't if that makes sense. Like when I'm keeping a straight face, my back teeth is biting down on my inner cheeks. I have to always be aware and correct it but it makes me uncomfortable when I do because then my mouth will no longer be 'resting'. It just started yesterday. I don't know of it's the braces working its magic or it's because I sleep on my jaws at night, that is my cheeks on the pillow, that is causing my jaws to shift and offset my jawline. Please reply
Henry Ijeoma I’m not sure and could only speculate. This sounds like a question for the orthodontist treating you. Most of these things are just initial adjustments to having braces and will get better.
I got braces on Monday trying to get to help for what waxing is
Douglas Rivas let us know what questions you have.
I have a question, is it bad that I got my braces almost 2 days ago and they still didn't hurt ?
No worries at all. Not everyone experiences pain. You are one of the lucky ones!
So I got a metal arch under my tongue and it’s rubbing on my tongue( I’ve had braces for 3 months and I’ve never had this problem), do I do the same thing ?
SpeXXah _ that’s a tough one. Most of the time it’s hard to get wax to stay in that place. Your orthodontist may need to take a look or see if they can figure out if they can make it better
I got new wires put in and one place is poking me on one of my brackets where my rubber band is attached if I apply wax will it effect my rubber band
Donna Turner not at all but the rubber band make make the wax come off more.
I got braces 10 hours ago and my mouth hurts so bad!
Idk Idc hang in there. It’ll get better after 3-5 days.
I just got my top braces today, they don’t necessarily hurt as bad because I guess I’m used to the pain from the expanders, but is a weird tingling feeling from the hook normal? Is wax needed?
Anusha Shrestha the pain may get a little worse tomorrow before it gets better. Wax is never required. It’s nice to have for irritations if you need it. Not sure about the tingling feeling. Give it a few days.
I’m confused please help ? Is the wax for pain or sores
DaReal Princess it can be for both. Pain. Is usually from running from the braces or poking of wires. These can both develop into sores. Wax can help for pain or with sores if they develop.
East Tennessee Orthodontics oh ok tysm
DaReal Princess NP
Thank you from, India 🙏🏼😀
What is the longevity of the wax ?
It will usually last a day or until you eat a big meal in your mouth. Just replace as you need to. In the pack it last forever unless it gets too hot and melts.
@@easttennesseeorthodontics9389 The wax works wonders I am so Glad I am using it, will be recommending it to my Dentist 🦷 to give to her other patients
@@madhumitaathaley551 excellent. Glad to help
The wax does help it I don’t I was going have take my braces out it hurt so bad.
Hang in there it’ll feel better soon
Day 2 of having braces and I’m so sore this hurts to do. Any pointers
Give it time and pain medicine. Hopefully you are feeling much better now.
K seems like I’m the only that got braces and didn’t feel pain
That’s great you aren’t having any pain.
But how long are you supposed to keep it on for? And how do you take it off?
Itzel H you can keep it on as long as something is rubbing or bothering you. You just pick it off or brush it off if you need to remove it.
@@easttennesseeorthodontics9389 ok thx
My braces don’t hurt at all it was my first time too!!
cecilia fun and more that’s awesome!
It hurts when i push it with wax😭
Jisung Hyung101 tooth pain or lip pain guess you get to take our pick
what do i do, my othadontist didn’t give me wax
You can always find some at a local pharmacy or Walmart. It can be ordered on Amazon too.
dude omg how do you open the wax case holy shit lmao
Kidd Flash lmao
Kidd Flash one thumb pushing up the other down on the case you gotta be kidding bro
Just got my braces yesterday and it hurts like hell 😭 didn't expect to hurt this much. Any idea to ease pain than thylenol or ice cream since my lil bro ate my ice cream earlier 😑
You can take both Tylenol and Ibuprofen(Advil) at the same time as long as you are sensitive to that medication. Tell your little bro he need to buy you some more Ice Cream though. 😁
Ketocorolac thank me later
Can I go to sleep while wax is in my mouth without it falling out of place?
Brian Hernandez should be fine and if you swallow it in your sleep, no big deal. Because your mouth dries out at night braces tend to stick and run more.
I just got my braces today and my teeth feel dry like when the hair touches them and I was left with like a white stain on my teeth ? Is this normal?
When we apply braces we have to make the teeth really dry so the braces will stick. This can dehydrate teeth and make feel dry and sometimes brings out some white color. They should rehydrate in about 24 hrs. See if the white stain goes away. If it doesn’t let your orthodontist know at you next appointment. Can compare it to the photos of before you had braces and see what has change or not changed.
Can you re-use the wax after you've put it in once?
You can. I’d probably try and change it out at least daily. It can pick up food particles and bacteria if left i too long. It also doesn’t stick as well
@@easttennesseeorthodontics9389 thank you
Got my braces 2 days ago and my whole mouth is sore
Thomas V that is super common. It usually takes about 3-5 days to go away. When you first get them on it is the worst
I just realised that i have used the wax wrong, wow thank god i saw this video
Glad to help
Can you reuse this wax again or just throw away and put in the new wax ?
Nisa Gymnastics 131 you can reuse it but I would probably just get a canes piece every time. It sticks better
Hi, How do you heat the wax before placing it on?
Just for a second between your fingers till it’s soft. It really depends on how hard the wax is when you begin.
Not an hour after I got my braces(top of teeth only) I went to jacks and ordered me a 10 pc chicken nuggets
Glad you got a “good” meal. The soreness doesn’t really start until about 3-4 hours after you get them on.
is it reusable
Havyn you can if you have to but I’d get a new piece every time.
When to put this
when do you take the wax off?
When it gets old. It usually comes off when you eat though and need to be replaced.
Whts was for and I just got my braces today and it hurt but u get used to the pain
Lol i got mine saturday getting use to them
Can I put wax on while i put my rubber bands on
Quennie Zhang no problem. If true rubber bands are on a tooth that needs the wax you’ll have to put the bands on first then the wax.
when will the pain go away and will I ever be able to eat normally again 😞
The first time you get your braces on it typically take 3-5 days to feel back to normal.
@@easttennesseeorthodontics9389 okay thank you
i want to put wax on all of my brackets, can i do that?
some random kiddo you most definitely can. You’ll just go through a lot of wax
i get my Braces today
funny guy exciting!

Nevada Mello you are most welcome!
