What is the best way to adjust to braces?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Don't : Don't try this at home! braces are a medical device placed by a trained clinician to fix your teeth and bite. Self adjusting is definitely a bad idea. Leave this to the professionals.

Adjusting: If you are asking how do you adjust, get used to, learn to live with, your new appliances, ask your orthodontist. It depends on your specific problem set. An orthodontic specialist will have suggestions and solutions tailored to your needs.
