Dry Mouth?

#1 Post by guilder68 »

I'm wondering if the dry mouth symptom lasts very long? I wasn't expecting that.

I didn't have dry mouth when I put my top braces, but I did when I got my bottom ones and it lasted for a good month or so. After that, It went back to normal.

Ditto. In part, I think that the mouth wash I use may be contributing to the dryness (Kirkland Signature mouthwash, equivalent to Listerine). Makes it harder to enunciate when I get cottonmouth!

I'm having the same issue and I started using ACT "dry mouth" lozenges. It has helped.
