Hello,
It is common to get ulcers in the initial stages of orthodontic treatment. You can use dologel for pain relief .But if the wire is extending beyond the bracket or band and causing the ulcer ,the wire has to be cut . So visit your dentist .

Apply dologel CT over that area. It’s just the traumatic ulcer which is due to any sharp wire pointing out from braces.

There is a possibility that there is some excessive wire extending beyond the braces. In that case, the extra length of the wire needs to be cut by your doctor.
Triamcinolone gel may help you to get relief, to be applied about 3 times a day for 3-4 days.
