How do you unnumb your face after getting braces?

I am a 20 year old male. I want to know how do you unnumb your face after getting braces?

Braces do not cause numbness of the face!
Something is wrong if you have numbness. Go see you orthodontist immediately and he will refer you to a specialist to diagnose what is the reason. Sound like a nerve damage and needs to diagnosed asap.
I have never had a patient complain of having a numb face after bonding brackets on. I don’t recall having had that issue when I had my braces put on either. If you are having that issue, you should talk to your orthodontist about it.
Thanks!!
