Is it just me?!

[asterisk]

I've had damon clears on top for about over 2 weeks now. The pain has subsided and I've progressed to my usual diet except a couple of things. The main thing that has been bothering me are the brackets on my canines. Whenever I smile my lips tend to get stuck behind them and it is so embarrassing! Has anyone else had this issue or is it just me? The brackets on the canines feel much bigger than the rest! I tried applying wax to help my lips glide over the bracket smoothly and not get stuck, but that didn't seem to help and it just looks like I've got lumps under my upper lip.

I had a bit of an issue with this in the begining. I think it was because I was not used to closing my lips around them. I got used to it pretty quickly and my canines were really high (I looked like I had vampire teeth) but have since been pulled down into alighnment so I am sure that helped. Hopfully it will get better for you soon.

Keeping your body well hydrated helps your mouth to cope with braces. Also using lip balm.

Rinse often with warm salt water to soothe the inside of your mouth!
