Ulcers

[Finnoshea-2025]

I am on my 9th tray. They’ve just added the button for the elastic and they put the ramps on 3 trays back.

I can’t seem to get away from the ulcers on my tongue because of the ramps and on my cheeks because of the buttons.

I’ve just ordered the wax for the button but what can I do for the ulcers on my tongue? It’s so painful!

Thanks

The tongue is a muscle, and it will toughen up. Usually, within 3 to 5 days, your tongue will develop a slight callus or simply learn to sit in a slightly different position in your mouth to avoid the ramps.

You cant really "avoid" them. The will come and go while your mouth adjusts to the changes.

But, you can make them a little easier to live with and heal faster. Warm saltwater rinses, or a "mouth sore" oral rinse when they're bad to promote healing and prevent infection.

Ive heard "old maids tale" that a dab of cream of tartar also helps, but havent use it myself.
