If the pain still doesn’t go away after rinsing, you can take a pain reliever. When you’re new to braces, your lips, cheeks, and tongue may also become irritated. This will quickly pass, but if needed, we can give you some wax to temporarily put over your braces and give your mouth a break.\u003C/p>\n",[609],{"button":610},{"type":104,"style":149,"label":611,"aria_label":611,"href":107,"path":612,"hash":107,"query":107,"external":80,"include_icon":78,"icon":78,"color":306},"More issues and solutions","/after-hours","full",[615,616],"top","bottom",{"acf_fc_layout":561,"column_one":618,"column_two":646,"image_left":78,"component_padding":336,"component_margins":404},{"content":619,"tile_slider":629},{"content":180,"header":620,"subheader":107,"body":621,"buttons":622,"options":180,"text_alignment":77,"button_alignment":304,"header_color":13,"body_color":306,"hero_header":78,"id":107},"The hard truth: softer foods are better now","\u003Cp>Modern technology means sturdier braces, but you still need to be careful and avoid foods that could damage your orthodontic appliance.
