Hello, on the bottom set of my braces, the wire has slipped out of one sides bracket causing the other side of the bottom to hurt. I discovered the wire has slipped one side causing the other side to dig into my gum. The wire is now in my gum causing me aches and an inflamed gum. Help?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the gums is because of the trauma caused by the wire poking into the gums. Immediately consult your orthodontist or a dental surgeon and get it corrected by placing back the wire to its position. If I am your treating doctor I would have corrected the wire first and put you on topical anesthetics like 2% lidocaine gel, apply 4-5times daily till the lesion or wound heals. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
