Braces problems with cuts?

This happens when you first get braces, not to worry. Your teeth/gums aren't used to having metal stubs on them so they are more sensative than normal. In addition, the braces can seem a bit sharp.A common spot to get these cuts is the inside of the upper/lower lip. These cuts may develop the first time you get braces and when you get them tightened. Your mouth will become used to them within a few days and you won't feel them. Besides wax, I recommend putting a tissue, or something soft between the brace and the area that hurts when you sleep, or when just sitting on the couch doing nothing. Don't worry, your mouth will adjust. Hang in there!
