Irritated Lips, Cheeks Gums + Canker Sores
Minor irritation to the lips, cheeks, and gums is common with braces, especially in the early stages of treatment. These sore spots, along with occasional canker sores, often improve as your mouth adjusts.
Bring This Up at Your Next Visit
Irritation from braces is not an emergency. However, be sure to let your orthodontist know at your next appointment.
