Take a pain reliever.
If the pain is due to your braces cutting open the skin on your lip then put the special wax that you were given on them.( if you don't have any wax or run out I found that candle wax and the wax that comes on little packs of cheese work just as well)

∙ 13y agoIf your braces are poking your cheeks there is ways to prevent it! I have had braces for a little over a year now and this happens a lot. You just take a pair of nail clippers and clip the wire, make sure they are clean and you don't clip your cheek or tongue. If you are squeamish doing this you can get help from your parents or try put it back in with tweezers or your nail.

Invisible braces should be treated like regular braces. You have to keep them in at all times and only take them off for eating and brushing.
Do you have to have braces or can you just have a retainer?
Braces are designed to move your teeth into better alignment. A retainer is designed to keep your teeth in their current position following braces. If your teeth are where you want them to be, you do not need braces or a retainer. If they are not, you will need to have them moved with braces followed by a retainer to hold them in place.
