Thanks to new techniques and appliances, today’s orthodontic treatments are more comfortable than ever. Discomfort, if any, is short-lived, and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication or with the use of an orthodontic accelerator. The accelerator is used to shorten the time on straightening your teeth and reducing pain.
If you continue to experience any pain or discomfort for more than a few days, call our Wakefield office at (401) 783-9890 or our Westerly office at (401) 596-2264 to schedule an appointment. Your orthodontist will assess your situation and determine the best course of action.
