I used wax......i think of I have been given it from the orthodontist, yet they could have it at shops too. It is obtainable in a sprint field and you pull out a chunk and roll it up and stick it on the area of the braces that are rubbing against your cheeks. it works properly and helps plenty! (as quickly as I used gum simply by fact i did not have any wax left).

When you first get them, your mouth is bound to go through some damage. Wax can help, but only for so long, so mostly you just have to suffer though it. Eventually the skin will get used to the braces. Oh... and try not to sleep on your face.

When I had braces they gave me this little container of wax to put on the braces if they were cutting my mouth. You should ask your orthodontist about this problem and see what he/she suggests. That problem went away after a couple months after my mouth got used to them being in there.

Go back to your dentist or orthodontist & ask them for some wax. They have little packages of dentist wax you can put over the part that's rubbing against your cheek (ouch!). Your wires might be too long, too, they can cut those for you.

Wax. They make some specially to be applied to braces. You can buy it at any drug store. I used it when I had braces and the wax was a lifesaver!

the ortho should have given you a wax to cover the sharp edges of the braces to avoid this.

U can get dental wax to cover the brackets to prevent that from happening

First, did you get wax from your orthodontist? if you didn't, phone them up and see if you can.
Second, if there not really CUTTING your mouth but just irritating it, your mouth will toughen up pretty quick and you won't notice it any more.
