what do you mean by sensitive? like it hurts? well yeah, its gonna hurt! but it should wear off in about 1 week so I'd give it about 2 or 3 or 4 days left.



If you get them on or off, either way they're going to be sensitive for about a week or even more. It all depends on how quickly your teeth adjust to them. remember, your teeth are still bones and moving bones is never a fast process, just be patient and learn what you can and can't eat when they're like this. Try soft foods like mashed potatoes, jello, pudding, smoothies, mac n cheese, stuff like that.

It wont be sensitive for much longer.... It is usually sensitive for about a 2-7 days when you first get them on or when you get them tightened but the first few times you get them tightened it will be sensitive for about a week :( xx

I had braces till like a month ago :P haha xxx
