Do braces hurt?

At first your teeth will most likely hurt on biting and you will need to stick to soft foods until your teeth begin to feel better. Usually this takes a few days.

If your teeth are feeling sensitive, pain relief with paracetamol can be helpful for a day or two.

At first the braces may rub on your lips and cheeks. Your braces pack has a box with silicon wax to place over prominent or sharp parts of the braces. The instructions are in the box. The wax can be purchased at larger chemists. Request more at your visits or by calling 9341 1000
