Braces help! Please help if you are an orthodontist or have them!?!


Question: Braces help! Please help if you are an orthodontist or have them!?
Hi, okay so ive have braces for about 6-7 months and they haven't hurt to bad, until the last few times they changed my wire. For like the first 4 months they used a silver wire, and now they use the color i pick and like wrap it around every tooth and it hurt way more. Is there a difference in the wires and how long will the pain last? Every other time it was 2-4 days, but this time the pain is so much worse, i can barely eat anything.Please tell me what to take or what will relive the pain and if you know the difference between the wires and how long the pain will last. I got them changed and tightened yesterday.

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.
