My twin blocks are hurting so much?

So I have had these twin blocks for little over a month now and for the first few weeks they were fine. For a long period of time the left of my mouth on the bottom was cutting into my gums next to my tongue so my orthodontist shaved the sides down. Now it's happening on the other side but WORSE. this pain in intense it feels like burning in my mouth an I can see red vains in that area of my mouth. I understand that I do fiddle with the bottom one but I have stopped now. I don't know whether wax will help but I go back to my ortho in a couple of months so I can't wait that long will wax help???

    Make an appointment with your orthodontist ASAP. Being is as much discomfort as you are expressing is not a good sign and more adjustments would probably need to be made. But remember, your twin blocks are an important part of your orthodontic treatment and once your plates fit properly you must wear your twin blocks almost all of the time.
