What are brace sores and what causes them?

It is not unusual for orthodontic braces to rub against the gums or lips, especially when they are first fitted causing soreness or ‘brace sores’. Brace sores can be painful, but there are steps you can take to relieve the pain.

How can I prevent brace sores?.

It’s difficult to prevent brace sores as even well-fitting braces can rub initially. You can, however, help ease the pain with SM-33 gel.

How can SM-33 help treat my brace sores?

SM-33 effectively and rapidly relieves the pain of brace sores. It contains an anaesthetic to gently numb the area as well as pain killers to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Antiseptic ingredients help fight infection. Simply paint the SM-33 liquid freely onto the affected area with a cotton wool bud every 3 hours, using a fresh bud for each application.
