Braces and Bonding?!
Question: Braces and Bonding!?
So I finally got braces on today, and the dentist put some bonding on two of my lower teeth (not to repair anything, but to relieve the pressure on my jaw from TMJ, I guess)!. The bonding makes these two teeth a lot taller than any of my other lower teeth!. Its really awkward and the two bonded teeth and the upper teeth THEY touch are the only teeth in my mouth that come together!. When I try to chew with my back teeth the newly bonded lower teeth click against my upper teeth, so as of now, its impossible to eat!. I'm not against losing weight, but I guess my main question is: has anyone ever had this kind of procedure done!? And if so, how long did it take to get used to it!? It sucks!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Unfortunately, yes, it does, "suck"!. This is fairly common with orthodontics however!. They will probably leave those like that until they get the teeth moved around a bit more, and you will get used to it and be able to eat!.
If you can't get used to it by the time you see your orthodontist again, see if s/he can do something else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You may wanna go back to the dentist who did that procedure, cuz that isn't good for your teeth to click when you eat!. I have never had this done, but i wish you the best of luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
