Guest guest Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 does anybody else here have sore jaw joints when you wear the bands your ortho gives you?? it's killing me. i wear them slanted from my back molars to 3rd tooth over on top. i have another 4 weeks to wear them. Is it true wearing bands signals the end of your orthodontic treatment? Lia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 yes... just got my first bands put on yesterday. i'm at six weeks post-op, and this is by far the worst pain i've had since day 2 post- op. i have six more weeks to wear the bands. my joints hurt, muscles hurt, bad headache, not to mention every tooth that still has feeling feels like is slowly and painfully being extracted. i think i'm gonna need to break out the vicodin again. i'm not sure that wearing bands signals the end of treatment. it's probably different for everyone. i know i have at least 8 more months of ortho. hang in there, lia. it can only get better, right? kate > does anybody else here have sore jaw joints when you wear the bands > your ortho gives you?? it's killing me. i wear them slanted from my > back molars to 3rd tooth over on top. i have another 4 weeks to wear > them.
