How to treat jaw muscle spasm after orthodontic treatment?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My mouth has been wired for the past three weeks. I feel spasms throughout the day and night that cause my gums to rip because of the screws and wires. I cannot sleep because it wakes me up at night. These spasms are both random and involuntary.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query and understood your concern.
I suggest you continue the medications as suggested and try to relax till you can see your dentist again. I also suggest you take warm water through a straw and hold it in your mouth for a few minutes.
I hope this has helped you.
Thanks and regards.
