<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi, the roof of my mouth has been burning ever since I got my braces put in, but i m not sure if one has to do with the other. Everytime i eat or drink something it burns and it feels as if the roof of my mouth is raw. What can i do to get it to stop burning ?  <response>: Hi, Getting braces and the burning could could not be connected. It could have been due to some food trauma as you might still be getting used to your new braces. In a similar scenario, I would advise my patients to stop eating any spicy food in the meantime, start with warm saline rinses 4-5 times a day. Apply topical McCoppin gel or a similar formulation before having food. Try this for next 1 week, and you should be fine. Regards.
