How to Ease the Pain of Poking Wire Braces

 

Do you wear braces? Do you experience pain from poking wires? If you are someone who experiences pain from poking wires then continue reading to find out some quick solutions to ease the pain.

1. You can use your finger to push back wires that may be sticking out.
2. Use wax and stick it on the end of the wire so it doesn’t poke and cause much pain. If you are going to use wax then make sure that you dry the area around the wire first. Then take a piece of the wax and roll it into a ball and then place it on the area where the wire is poking out.
3. You can also use the eraser on the top of a pencil to push the wire back in.

If the wire still continues to cause you pain then it might be best to schedule an appointment with your orthodontist.
