Expander is Loose If an expander becomes loose we do not want you to activate it until you are seen. Usually the expander can be pushed back onto the tooth until you get back into our office. Sticky foods are usually the cause of this. Wire Poking Early on in treatment as the teeth move, it is possible for the wires to protrude from the back brace. This problem can be solved by taking a nail clipper and snipping the wire as close as possible to the brace. If you cannot clip wire, placing some wax on it will help to keep you comfortable. Initial Soreness After the initial placement of braces or following an adjustment the teeth may be tender for a couple of days. This occasionally happens and will pass. An over-the-counter pal reliever such as Advil or Tylenol may be helpful in alleviating this initial soreness. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Hersh or Dr. Beattie at The newest state of the art orthodontic facility in West Bloomfield/Commerce Township at (248) 926-4100. 248-926-4100 Aaron Jacob Litt will be called to the Torah as a bar mitzvah on Saturday, Jan. 24, at Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Township.
