Discomfort

After your brace has been fitted, you may find that your teeth are tender and your mouth is sore for the first week or so. This is perfectly normal, and it will get better.

We advise you to take whatever painkillers you would normally use for a headache (aspirin should not be given to children). To minimise the rubbing, you can use Bonjela, Brace Relief, Braceze or wax.
