Question:

Food stuck behind braces bracket?

I feel intense pressure and pain behind one of the square things on my braces, i feel like there is food behind there, but i havent eaten in hours. I had some ice cream with some hard toppings then, but the pain started later. I havent had my braces tightened in like 2 months. I tried using the picky brush thing i got at the dentist for getting out food, and i tried using a water flosser on it. Neither helped. I suppose i could try brushing my teeth too. Right now it feels like it did the day after i got my braces on, but only in one spot. PAAAAIIIIIINNNNN!!!!!!! Help?????????????

Answer:

brush especially where the food is stuck. Use floss by tying a knot and slide it around the food is.
Brush especially in that area, and floss by tying a big knot it and slide it around where you think the food is. However, I am still confused as to where it is. Square things? the brackets around your back molars?
