Yes: It is totally fine to have braces adjusted 3 weeks postpartum and during breast feeding. If discomfort after, stick with acetaminophen for pain relief. Congratulations and thanks for nursing your baby and giving it best start in life!

Congratulations: I wish your baby a long and happy life. Your Orthodontic treatment will not affect your overall health, your breast feeding, or the baby's health. Please continue to see your Orthodontist for regular care.
