Small But Sharp!!!!

I had another visit to my orthodontist last day evening and had my lower jaw wired onto a new clip. It was really hurting but that is normal after every appointment but later the matter got worse.  The foremost part of clip which opened above the teeth has sharp ends and it was touching and rubbing my tongue and it’s horribly hurts when i try to talk or eat…. I skipped dinner and directly went to bed…. Morning I woke up early in the morning and ringed my surgeon, he was empathetic and fixed my appointment at 10.30am….


I stumbled into my orthodontist’s office at 10. 25:00 am. The clip fixated to my right (which broken and fixed last day) lower braces has been dug in my tongue, and I was unable to bend it or trim it myself. I feel a little uneasy about sticking wire cutters into the very back of mouth, where I cannot see, and attempting to clip off some excess metal. I was also having extreme difficulty eating because every time I moved my mouth to chew, a little more of my tongue would get scraped off. So, taking the intelligent route, I went to visit my surgeon. He informed me that my right lower clip had actually sharp ends which were digging my tongue. After adjusting it he advised to apply ointment on the sides of tongue which has rashes and take saline water twice a day... I feel much better already. But it still hurts; I think it’s just because of those rashes. So its ok I think.
