At the starting of treatment there Wil b issues of problem in talking, getting ulcers and pain. U can use softened wax on the sharp edges of braces to get temporary relief. Use pansarol or dologel to heal ulcers. Take hifenac p as pain killer

You feel discomfort for first few days because of the pressure created by brackets ... You can take painkillers if you are feeling pain.
