I had one but I lost it.. I tried taking Allegra 24hrs for two days now and I'm seeing improvements with my health. I might've had allergies unrelated to my braces lol

Going to the doc and getting allergy meds will help right? I'm hoping there is a solution since it didn't clear up on its own.

I wore braces and Everytime I got a new wire my face would get more swollen. The facial swelling never went away after braces.. does this sound like allergies?

Hello, I was a regular here over 10 years ago when i had braces at 18. Unfortunately, i was not satisfied then on the outcome it left my face. I have a swollen looking face and my orthodontist then did not really want to help me get my face back. She looked really concerned about being sued. Anyway,...

Got my braces on at 18 & off @ 20.
