The pain is so hard to describe, but it is constant, and taking pain killers to help. If you are reading this and have braces or considering braces at all these will be your new best friends:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ortho wax <\/strong>\u2013 I plastered this everywhere the brace was rubbing. Worked wonders, and don\u2019t think I could have lived without it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tepe\u2019s <\/strong>\u2013 Eating can be a very messy business with food getting stuck in your brace. Not to panic, as using these Tepe\u2019s between your bracket and wire is so quick and easy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5856 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/the-dental-studio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/img4.jpg\" alt=\"img4\" width=\"327\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-dental-studio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/img4.jpg 393w, https:\/\/the-dental-studio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/img4-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Superfloss<\/strong> &#8211; The gaps between my teeth have become more open for me to start using superfloss, to really keep my cleaning up to standard.

I would recommend an electric over a manual even if you don\u2019t have a brace.
