When someone has braces put on their teeth, every time they are tightened the forces on the teeth and bones can create pain, as well as causing a mini-trauma to the bones. There are two supplements and a homeopathic remedy that consistently show as needed and helping in the first 3-7 days after each change to the mouth:
1.) Total Inflam (to alleviate pain) -- usually 8-10 a day. Can be taken up to 4 an hour, as needed.
2.) Core Level Bone Matrix (to help bones accept changes with less negative repercussions) -- usually 2-6 per day.
3.) Homeopathic Symphytum (also helps bones accept changes) -- usually 4 tablets every 1 to 2 hours the first one to three days, and then 4 times a day for the rest of the week.
All of these are available at our office.
Following this protocol keeps the person more comfortable without the negative affects on the liver, stomach and kidneys caused by traditional pain medications such as aspirin, Advil and Motrin. In addition, it helps to ward off any future tooth problems caused by too fast and excessive changes to the bones.
I personally wish I had known of this when I had my braces. What a difference it would have made!
