I’ve had braces for a couple of days now, and while I knew my cheeks were going to get raw from the braces, I’m encountering another issue: my top lip keeps catching on the wire. Not the brackets, but the wire. It’s even gotten to the point where I have a small blister under my lip from it! It doesn’t hurt very much, but it’s very annoying. Any suggestions or will I just need to get used to this?
