I just got braces yesterday and now my upper lip is hurting from the braces rubbing against them... HELP!?

Question

Other than using wax on it, what can I do to help relieve the pain on my upper lip.

Answer 1

get a smoothie, and stick the straw between your upper lip and teeth.

it feels REALLY good. but other then that, you just have to hurt.

it'll hurt for another 4 days or so.  

Answer 2

don't use wax it really doesn't help drink something cold or maybe eat yogurt but other than that youll just have to grin and bear it

Answer 3

maybe rinsing your mouth with salt water will help.  

I guess was isn't your thing either? i had trouble with it because it wouldn't stay. and when it did it would fall off right away.  I'd say maybe using ALOT of wax if it hurts lot.

maybe put a piece of fruit in between, or ice to numb the pain.

that's all i can think of

Answer 4

I would keep using the wax, push it on really good.  But you can also buy Kanka at any drug store. It is used for canker sores, you put it in your mouth on the sore spot and it really does a good job at numbing it.
