When you get your braces on, or have them tightened, you may feel general soreness in your mouth. Your teeth may feel tender to biting pressures for up to 3 5 days. Your lips, cheeks, and tongue can become irritated for the first two weeks as they become accustomed to braces. Our team will supply wax to put on your braces in irritated areas to lessen discomfort. You may also consider taking Tylenol, Advil, or any other pain reliever that you normally take for headaches or discomfort.

Dr. Vinson will need your help and compliance to successfully complete orthodontic treatment. Your teeth and jaws can only move toward their corrected positions if you consistently wear the rubber bands or other appliances we prescribe. Lack of compliance or damaged appliances can lengthen your treatment time.

If using Phos-Flur mouthwash: rinse your mouth with two teaspoons (half a cap) for one minute and then spit out. Do not rinse, eat, or drink for at least 30 minutes after applying.
