Tightening of braces?!

Question: Tightening of braces?

I just got my braces tighted yesterday and I am rarely in pain.I'm just wonderinf if this is how it's supposed to feel like or maybe the ortho asst didnt actually tighten them since it took like less than 2 minutes.He changed the color of bands that go on the brackets and ta-da! the was it.He said the actual little rings are the ones that do the work...how weird!Now today my teeth are feeling a little sore and are very sensitive to hot and cold foods.One thing I am glad about is that if this is what braces tightening is I can preety much take it rather than dealing with the spacers I had.Any advice please help Im so confused

Answers:

Relax I had braces for two years and ya yes titening yoru braces is part of the process of helping your teeth move together and help them they will get titer and titer help your teeth become straighter hope that helps you and if there hurtning take some tylenol for the pain eat soft food until your use it like potatoes and gravey and yogurt broth soup jello pudding oatmeal just eat soft foods hope that helps

if what you are saying about your orthodontist saying that the colour bands is true then i would be slightly suspicious. I know a lot of people who prefer to keep their braces plain without any bands and braces have worked brilliantly for them. Maybe he's treating like you are really little so it is like a fantasy thing

If it is neither of these things then i would love to be in your shoes, i just got my bottom brace fitted to go with my top brace and they really hurt

brace situation myself

I got mine tightened a week ago, andd they still hurrt ! It's norrmaal thoough . I notticed if i went to bed early, my teeth feelt betterr. Also, if youu drinkk like some cold things.
