Has anyone experience tooth sensitivity after getting braces?!


Question:

Has anyone experience tooth sensitivity after getting braces?

Since I've gotten braces a couple days ago everytime i drink anything cold, hot or warm my teeth starts to hurt. How long does it last? how can i treat it?


Answers:

I have experienced the same problem too. I have braces now and everytime i get a new wire or bracket my teeth hurt. This normaly lasts from 3 days to 3 weeks depending on the extention of the "project".

Though i find my teeth hurt less if i dont use my teeth and drink smoothies and pudding through a straw and other drinks through a straw(lol)

but if you would like your teeth to hurt less time but more soreness through out the days to get it over with then use your teeth as much as possible. it may hurt like hell now but youll like it in 5 days when your better instead of miserable throughout the 3 weeks.

also brush softer with tooth sensitivity toothpaste so your teeth dont hurt.

also consider sucking on candy like your fav. flavor of jolly ranchers or hard candy to take your mind off of it. it tastes good and distracts youu!

good luck!
