Ok everyone, I have this moderately to extensively painful problem. If anyone has braces you may know what I am talking about. I have braces and the wire at the end of the braces is currently stuck in my gums. Not only is this extremely painful, but it also REALLY hurts. I can’t eat without like bleeding and stuff. I did it this morning and it’s really startin to piss me off. So heres my dilema. I can’t go to the orthodontist because my mom is in Idaho until Sunday and I have no way of gettin there because I was lazy and didn’t get my lisence when I should have. So I’m screwed there. So should I either… A: Suck it up and rip it out with my hands/pliers and bleed for a couple hours. B: Suffer for like 5 days and probably get an infection and wait for my mom to get back. p.s. I feel that this is **not** spam because it really effin hurts. ---

i also have braces too, and know what you’re talking about. given your current situation, i would attempt to cut the end of the wire myself in front of a mirror, as long as i was really careful. ---

well the even better times a million news is I have to work 4 to 9 and I can’t call in because I’m training the new really hot girl I got hired. So if I go I’ll either get fired or in deep trouble, and I won’t get to flirt with the hot girl for 5 hours… lol ---

how will you flirt if you are in pain? get a cab, a bus, a friend, or hitchike to the ortho… You only get 2 sets of teeth, and you’ve already ruined one set… 😉 Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

I’ll manage to flirt rev… theres always a way… Unfortunately my orthodontists hours are between 9 and 3 on weekdays only… so I have a really small window of time, and I can’t miss school tomorrow cuz of finals… so this is pretty much a really bad situation… I’m probably gonna have to go to like a different ortho and pay a hundred bucks for them to cut a wire… weee… gotta love it ---

Hey 23…err 28 🙂 It happened to me one time and the pain is horrible. Try taking a pair of tweezers, use the tweezers and find a part of the wire where there is some room to move the tweezers around, and try to drag the wire back to its normal location. If not, cut the end of the wire out. It’s not too difficult for them (I hope) to simply place another wire there. Cheers! Kirupa :cyclops: ---

A CAB. If you don’t have money and your neighbor can’t take you, try and mooch some money off them. How about friends? their parents? ---

Happened to me once - I just pulled it out with pliers. The whole wire will slide out through each brace - its not that hard, and easy to do. My next visit, they put a new one in - simple. Best of luck. TD ---
