Mouth in pain everyday from having to wear rubberbands 24/7 with braces. help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be...: Depending upon where you are hurting it could be: 1. If cheeks are sore, check for latex allergy. 2. Teeth sore: consistent elastic wear will reduce soreness, inconsistency increases soreness 3. Jaw joint soreness: some joints complain during elastic wear, ask your orthodontist about this. Ibuprofen products are fantastic to control orthodontic discomfort. Continue your elastics as prescribed.
