Today, I discovered that just because I got my braces removed does not mean my painful mouth ulcers will stop. I now have them under my tongue. I can't even lick my lips. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got my braces off. I also got my tongue pierced. Both by my orthodontist. FML
Today, I went to see my orthodontist. He informed me that I have an underbite and I will probably need braces again. I just had them taken off last year, after five and a half years of oral hell. FML
Today, I have what is probably a cold sore on my upper lip. I also have a mustache, which keeps rubbing against it. Because of this, no matter what I do, it stings. The next few days are fixing to be very, very long and miserable. FML
Today, I had a dentist appointment in which a nurse numbed my mouth. After coming home, I took a nap in which I unknowing bit through my top lip. I physically can't speak. FML
Today, while enjoying breakfast, my teeth took a chunk out of my cheek. This happens regularly, even when I'm talking. Both my doctor and dentist have no idea why, and I'm in utter agony. FML
Today, I had to get three teeth pulled. That would've been fine if they were all on the same side of my mouth. Nope, two were on the upper left and one on the bottom right. I kept thinking my upper lip was gauze it was so numb, and I kept drooling like a baby. I've barely been able to eat as it's so sore. FML
Today, I came down with painful sores in my mouth, just after having gotten over a cold. Apparently I'm allergic to the cough drops I've been eating for the past week to make myself feel better. FML
Today, after a year or more of suffering with wisdom tooth pain, I finally had all 4 removed a few days ago. Relief? No. I’m in more pain now than I’ve ever been, and I can’t even eat for comfort. FML
Today, I got hit in the mouth with a hockey stick and lost four teeth. Yesterday I got my braces of six years removed. FML
Today, I got my lip pierced. By the orthodontist. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Haha I know exactly how that feels, having had my braces removed a year ago. Don't worry, it'll pass, just give it a week or so (:

I didn't have mouth ulcers back when I had braces or as a result of them being removed. You probably have some other sort of mouth related issue.

it'll be worth it :) I have braces on right now and no matter how much pain I went and still go through, I'm glad I have them because my teeth look actually straight.

NO, IT'S NOT HERPES- STUPID PEOPLE. I'd go to your primary physician and your dentist about this, there are things that can be done for canker sores.

OP, I can relate to that. My advice would be: rinse your mouth after every meal, and use the extracts of camomile, oak bark and sage for the rinsing. Also, if the ulcers are really deep and painful, use antibiotic ointments on them (just be careful to not swallow those, they don't taste very pleasant). And don't eat sour/spicy food, that will make things waaaay worse D:

Your probably not getting ulcers because of your braces, but rather lack of vitamins. Eat some fruit!

This ^ exactly, you get mouth ulcers from a low intake of vitamines.

Go get some OTC 800 mg Folic Acid take that before going to sleep at night. I had braces for 2 years & the FA stopped all sores. I worked in Sales & had to talk it was miserable with all the sores, wax was worthless & messy.

This is what the whole abstinance campaign is all about.

I get those a lot too. after years of seeing doctors for them that couldn't help me, I finally found out that eating lots of yogurt makes them go away. (or taking probiotics in general, but I prefer it in yogurt form because the coolness of it is soothing)
