Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 I have a feeling it depends on the person.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 My dentist appointment is next month and my ortho said it's normal (with a sympathetic head tilt) and should go away but you can tell me that all day, it doesn't make it better. I was just wondering if there was any special something that I could be doing. Hopefully the Sensadine works. > > When is this tooth sensitivity going to end????

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 i am about 13 weeks post of (losing count) and early on i had no sensitivity issues, but for the last 5 weeks or so i have. NO problem brushing lower teeth, major sensitivity brushing upper. i hate doing it. i can spend all day on the lower. i think my situation is because i am still wearing bands to pull my bite together so my teeth are in constant movement, like after an OD appt, but all the time. I am hoping this will resolve as my bite gets better. i do remember someone posting a while ago that they could barely use their electric toothbrush for 4 months due to same issue. > > > When is this tooth sensitivity going to end????
