The elastic hook hurts my cheek during orthodontic treatment. Can I bend it inwards?

Bahagyang nakausli ang rubber hook sa bracket ko at nasabit sa loob ng pisngi ko kapag tumatawa ako. Kung dahan-dahan kong idiin ito sa ngipin gamit ang likod ng sipit, masisira ba ito?

Huwag pilitin ang iyong sarili gamit ang mga pliers o sipit, maaari mong masira ang bracket body o matanggal ang ngipin! Ang pinakamadaling gawin ay magdikit ng orthodontic wax na kasing laki ng lentil sa hook na iyon. Sabihin sa iyong doktor sa iyong appointment na ibaluktot niya ito sa loob ng 2 segundo gamit ang mga espesyal na forceps.
