Do braces cause canker sores?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I am sorry for your injury. Luckily, it is not deep nor does it seem infected. Such injuries from braces or others will usually heal within a few days. Since you are already under proper treatment, there is no need to worry about it getting infected with Streptococcus.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Some researchers thought that canker can be an overreaction to the streptococcus bacteria because the bacteria are often found in the canker sore. But still, patients with canker sores often have minor injuries from dental injections and toothbrushes in the lining of the mouth. Since your sores are on the lip, they could have been triggered by an injury (even if very mild) or stress like an acute illness. Please be reassured that it is not contagious, and will heal in a few days. There is a very low risk that it will worsen or get infected. Please maintain your dental hygiene. Also, continue the antibiotic course. It will heal spontaneously with no complications.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
