hooks on braces
The hook on my braces on the left side of my mouth keeps snagging on the side of my mouth. Like whenever I yawn or chew, it hooks on the side of my cheek. Now there's like a sore there. I tried the wax my orthodontist gave me, but it doesn't work for it. I also tried putting little wads of tissue between the hook and mouth, which worked, but whenever I eat, I end up swallowing the tissue wad, and it also bulges, making a little bump where it is. Any advice on how to make it stop snagging?

I got my braces off recently and I had the same problem...and your right...the wax doesn't work...but there really isn't anything that you can do about it...regardless it's going to rub up against that area of your cheek...give it a little time...it takes adjusting...just like when you got the braces in the first place...but it will kind of callus and you wont feel it anymore...and when you get your braces off that sore goes away...just let it run its course...thats all you really can do.

i have that too, and the best way to fix it is just to use wax. i understand you already tried that though. you are probably just gonna have to get use to them. when you go to the orthadontist, ask them about it. Also, to help the irritation swish salt water in your mouth.
