Question: Braces help! Please help if you are an orthodontist or have them!?
Answers:
I think they put a chain on, it wraps around every bracket.
Yes it does hurt more, maybe for a week tops.
My pain tolerance level is a little higher, it only hurt for a day when I had braces.
Good luck, hang in there.
Chains are just to pull the teeth together
Just like the other answer says, you have chain elastic on top of your wire now. The chain elastic closes any spaces between teeth. The new wires combined with tight chain elastic is probably why you feel more soreness. It will go away eventually, and be worth it in the end. We always recommend our patients taking advil. It works well for tooth pain.
