Your Dental Braces can sometimes irritate your cheeks and lips especially when you’re eating.  Knowing how to fix the problem or when it’s time to call Dr. Robison for an appointment is crucial you don’t want to further prolong your treatment.  Orthodontic wax makes an excellent barrier between the braces and cheeks, lips, and tongue. Simply pinch off a small piece wax and roll it into a ball, then flatten the ball and place it completely over the irritating area. Drying the area first can help the wax stick better.

Dental Braces and More Pokey Wires Gilbert AZ Orthodontist

 Dental Braces And Their Pokey Wire Problems

At Robison Orthodontics we know Dental Braces aren’t always so fun, but knowing what could go wrong and being prepared to fix the problem if one should arise is vital when it comes to Dental Braces.  Most small problems with Dental Braces can be resolved in the comfort of your own home and if you can’t fix the problem on your own at home please don’t hesitate to call our office to schedule an appointment, even if it’s just for simple information.  Knowing and caring for the appliances in your mouth, along with, following     Dr. Robison’s instructions on how to solve the small problems that could occur while wearing Dental Braces is significantly important and will help keep your experience with Dental Braces pleasurable instead of terrible. Dental Braces have a number of issues that could arise.  Broken brackets, loose bands, sores in your mouth, and poking wires are just couple.

Pokey Archwires

One of the issues you could have with your Dental Braces is poking wires. The main wires are shaped specifically to fit around the arch into the bracket slots. Dental Braces move your teeth by applying pressure that comes from the archwire and guides the direction of the teeth movement. When it comes to poking wires there are couple of situations that could occur. Listed below is just one of those situations with instructions on what you could do to try and remedy the problem on your own at home

Main Archwire Out Of Tube

The main archwire is fitted into the slots in the brackets or through the tubes in which are the very back brackets with your Dental Braces.  If the main archwire comes out of the tube the first thing you should try is putting the wire back into the tube with a pair of sterile needle nose pliers or tweezers.  If you cannot reinsert the wire back into the tube the second thing you should try is placing a piece of special wax over the archwire that is out of place. If the archwire is long and poking you, use the special wax as well. If both of these techniques are unsuccessful then the wire can be cut with either sterile wire cutters or nail clippers, close to the back of the brace. Remember cutting the wire is only to be done as a last resort.
