Are your teeth suppose to hurt so bad you can't chew?!
Question:
Are your teeth suppose to hurt so bad you can't chew?
I just got my braces like 2 days ago.My teeth are really bothering me.I really chew.So I was wondering if I'm suppose to be in pain like this and for how long?
Answers:
Teeth have ligaments around each one of them, and when a force is applied like your braces are putting on them they are going to ache, just like a sore muscle would. Also like a sore muscle it should subside in a few days. Try some ibuprofen and stick to soft foods until they feel better, This will happen every time you have them tightened or wires changed and it's a good thing, it means they are moving, so unfortunately you will have to live with it!
