First Aid for Emergencies

Mild pain with a new brace? If we have just fitted you with a brace, it is normal for you to feel slight pressure or a pulling sensation—because your teeth are being set in “motion” and this can lead to a feeling of pressure. Avoid hard foods in the first few days to protect your teeth. Initially, the brace can also cause sore spots. Rinse with chamomile tea, which accelerates healing.
