Adjuncts: You will be sore for a few days. If the appliance is rubbing your gums, call your Orthodontic Specialist or treating General Dentist immediately. If muscle/tooth/jaw soreness take pain killers EXACTLY as directed (best non-narcotic is Ibuprofen). Use cold compresses on cheeks. Rinse w 1tsp salt in 8oz warm water 3-4x/day. Eat soft high-protein diet.
