Mine also got stuck between my teeth so i technically didn't floss for 6 weeks before the troubles started no matter how hard you think it is to get between the teeth do it, make the floss as thin as possible otherwise your gums will hurt so bad

Was told warm salty water by my dentist

This is happening to me in a few places :( only really at the very back, i'm just past two months in from having them on, seems all my issues are coming at once :( this happened to anyone else? only real hassle with them is when i floss, the overgrown gums tend to bleed alot. My hygenist has seen th...

well good news i guess, flossing last nite in the areas that bled profusely, things have started to settle down. The only time it begins to bleed is when i know i've scraped or cut the gum taking the floss back out, entirely my fault but so much better than having to cut the floss out of my gums wit...

I clean my teeth 3 times a day and take care with dental hygiene but i'm just curious as to why ...

So i just had my 6 week checkup with my orthodontist and because the hygenist told me it would probably be a wire change i was curious but nothing interesting like that happened :( she just checked to see how things where going and reminded me about how important it is to keep my teeth clean, which ...
