Embracing change from day one
Initial adjustment period
The first few days with your braces might feel like a whirlwind of sensations. It’s perfectly normal to experience some soreness as your teeth start their journey towards alignment. This discomfort is a sign that your braces are doing their job. During this time, the soft tissues of your mouth, such as your cheeks and lips, will begin to adapt to the new hardware they’re sharing space with. To ease this transition, we provide soft orthodontic wax that can be applied to any part of your braces causing irritation.
Sensation of a changing bite
It may seem odd at first, but feeling your bite change is a typical experience when wearing braces. As your teeth start to move, your bite will adjust. This change, while noticeable, is a positive indicator of progress and will stabilize as your teeth align.

Beyond the first week: adapting to life with braces
As you move beyond the initial adjustment period, you’ll find that many of the early discomforts start to diminish. Your mouth will become more accustomed to your braces, and soon, they’ll feel like a natural part of your smile. Remember, our team at Family Orthodontics of Wellington is here to support you every step of the way. If you have concerns or need adjustments, we’re just a call away.
Life with braces is a journey with ups and downs, but the destination—a stunning, healthy smile—is well worth it. We’re excited to be part of this transformative phase of your life.
