Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

I just got my braces tightened and they hurt so bad that its geting to the point where its hard to eat!!! Any household remedies or medicine to stop this?

I have had my first set of aligners for 5 days now. Everything has been going smoothly, except for a head ache from the pressure on the first day. However, this morning I woke up to some irritation on the soft tissue of my mouth. It seems that the edge of the bottom aligner (at the front) has caused some mirco- cuts on the soft tissue (inside below my lips, which covers and has contact with my teeth) opposite from my teeth and aligner. It aligners must have been rubbing up against them to cause it. What do I do to ease the irritation and prevent it from getting worse?
