I recently got braces in December followed
by a palate expander. Everything has been
fine until to my recent visit to the
ortho. My teeth were tightened but a
chain was also placed on my front braces
to close the small gap that had formed.
After this I was in constant pain for
about three days, something I was told was
only suppose to last a day an a half. I
brush my teeth the moment I wake up, after
breakfast and after any sugary food in
take as well as right before bed.
Lately though, every time I try to put in
my palate expander I recife a constant
throbbing pain in my back teeth were my
wisdom teeth are and my gums have been cut
up. It doesn't help that I've been
suffering from a pretty bad cough, all
this has become quite painful and I would
like to try to heal this as quickly as
possible without it resulting in crazy
oral surgery.
I was wondering if anyone has any tips or
suggestions that can help me relieve this
pain and stop a possible serious infection
as well as what I should do about my
palate expander, should I keep on wearing
it or wait a bit?
