How long does the excess saliva from when you first get braces last?

Couple of days: it may last couple of days as teeth get a costumed to increase pressure. Don't worry.!!

Not long: Your mouth quickly adapts to braces or clear aligners. Should not take more than a few days. Ibuprofen will help take the edge off until you adapt.
