Orthodontic Treatment Discomfort

During the first week after your braces are placed and after routine adjustments, you may experience soreness and discomfort. To alleviate this soreness and discomfort, we recommend acetaminophen or another non-aspirin pain reliever. You can also use a warm washcloth or heating pad to reduce jaw soreness.

If you are encountering any orthodontic issues, please Payson, Spanish Fork, Springville or Provo, UT dental offices as soon as possible. We will do our very best to assist you in your time of need. We have offices in Payson, Spanish Fork, Springville or Provo.
