    Band help

    I have bands on my 2 upper-back molars. The one on the left is fine but the one on the left is fine, but on the right, the toungue side is sticking out. It is really sharp and has gotten stuckinsidemy toungue at least twice today. What is wrong and what should I do (besides wax)? THANKS!

    If it continues to annoy you, you can contact your ortho and ask for the inside of the right band to be flattened and/or smoothed.

    Till then ... keep using wax and rinse your mouth often with warm salt water.
    After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!
