Why Are My Lips Swollen, Painful And Chapped With Ulcers?
Hi, I recently have gotten my braces off a week ago and have a clear plastic tray to hold my teeth. Since then my lips got very chapped, and then have swollen up with cracks causing massive amounts of pain. I have also gotten ulcers in the inner lip. Please help!

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
These ulcer might be caused because of trauma from the plastic tray and even this dryness of lips is also because of this tray only as it can be possible that this tray is causing open mouth and constant breathing from mouth.
Better you visit your dentist again and get the tray modified.
Hope it will help you.
