Does having braces increase saliva production?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Temporarily: Whenever there is something new in the mouth, saliva is produced because the "brain" thinks food. It should go back to normal in a few weeks at the most.

Sometimes: Often something foreign can make the mouth salivate. You will get used to it eventually.
