Getting braces tomorrow, lots of complications please help?!


Question: Getting braces tomorrow, lots of complications please help?
Well, the "lots of complications" bit was a little exaggerated, but here it is:

I had 4 premolars removed for braces and I noticed around 2 days ago that the top left tooth behind on of the extraction sites is shaking slightly, really sore, gums around it red and painful, can't chew.

What do I do, I'm getting braces tomorrow!!
Please helpp!!
Thanks

Ask your dentist for some soothing gel for your teeth. Braces will be kind of annoying the 1st 2 or 3 days, until your mouth gets used to them, but after that you will get used to them. If you will get full time braces, expect heaving to eat many liquids like juices, soups or milk, because it will be hard to chew. This is because of the pressure that your teeth endure towards the braces. Trust me, I've been there, done that.

I would be more worried about developing TMJ after having your bicuspids extracted than the soreness. Be sure to tell your orthodontist when your jaw starts to click and pop from TMJ.
