Guest guest Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hi all, I had my upper braces put on on Tuesday. Apart from not being able to chew at all partly due to braces and my open bite (only two teeth meet on each side) I experience shooting pain when brushing my teeth especially where one of the metal bands is. That molar hurts like hell but only if it is touched. Any advice before I can call my ortho tomorrow morning? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first got my braces on, my teeth were very very sore and it was very hard to chew. Advil helped :-) > Hi all, > > I had my upper braces put on on Tuesday.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 If it helps my teeth were sore for about two months after I got my upper braces on and I didn't really chew anything for that time. Every now and then I still get some teeth hurting with pressure. karocska wrote: Hi all, I had my upper braces put on on Tuesday.
