Anyone have any tricks or suggestions to help relieve dry mouth, if I can fix this I think I can be somewhat comfortable in my new braces. Thanks ALL!!

Try some of the Biotene products. You can find them in local drugstores. They are meant to help dry mouth.
I'm the owner/admin of this site. Had ceramic uppers, metal lowers ~3 years in my early 40's. Now in Hawley retainers at night!

I use the Biotene Dry Mouth Gel. I like it because I can apply it to the areas I most need it. I find it works quite well.

Ceramic uppers, metal lowers put on March 6 2012 to fix spacing issues and traumatic malocclusion. Estimated treatment time is 24 months.

I'm agreeing with the above posts in Biotene mouth wash and gel. My boyfriend even uses this even though he doesn't have braces and loves it.
