Please no rude comments. Okay so like i told you in my last question 2 of my teeth are hurting and they are painful. I think they tightened them to much. I have taken tylenol it doesn't really seem to help. I have the wax but i don't have much and it starts to dissolve after a while. I have 2 upper and 1 lower extra Kanine teeth which it will show you in the pic. I have 3 blisters on my lower mouth and they keep getting cut by the extra tooth.

  1. I just got my braces off. Thank GOD!  They hurt SOOO bad that I couldn't sleep at night and they would prescribe me anything, they told me to take tylenol.. Yeah, right..  I think everything is normal, they really do just hurt that bad when they move.  I feel really bad for you, but it'll be over soon.  I think it took about a week for the pain to go away and it was less severe each time.  If you have a wire, the ortho could cut it.   Use your wax and you just basically have to wait it out.


  2. sounds normal to me. how long ago did they tighten them? if its been less than a week and a bit just give it time.

    if it doesnt go away call u p the orthodontist office and they will have you come in and take a look at it.

  3. the ends are pointy. go to the place were you got your braces and ask them to cut the backs of the wire. they can also bend it so its not to pointy. =D

  4. I had braces too and my teeth looked some what like yours... do you have ibprofen or anything that relives muscle pain... or takes swelling away... as for the cuts that does happen from time to time because they are so sharp.

    If you cant eat or sleep you should contact your doctor to see if there is anything they can give you... and what about that ambasol?

  5. They hardly every tighten them too much. They are supposed to put alot of pressure on your teeth as your teeth are being forced to move and obviously that is going to cause some discomfort and pain. I know when I had mine I hated it. (BTW I got mine off a year or so later I had a seizure and a lady THAT WORKED AT THE HOSPITAL where I had the seizure stuck something in my mouth and I broke one of my teeth....she should have known not to do that!) Anyways, talk to your doc and see if there is something else that he can give you for the pain. Yeah, the wax didn't work well for me... it just wanted to fall apart or it didn't stick to my braces or whatever.

  6. HI, first don't listen to the mean people, there VERY rude and about to be reported by me.  Second, in my orthodotic paper it said "DO NOT TAKE TYLENOL", so maybe it doesn't work or something, take some IBprofen.  blisters are part of the whole thing(sadly), we just have to get use to it.  It may be a while till the canines come down and stop poking you.  And the Ortho, shouldn't have tighted them to much,  Good luck, I hope I helped you.

    P.S. I think your a pretty girl, the other chick was just a troll.

  7. umm go to the ortha. i rlly think u need it. it cld get worse and start an infection.  

  8. I dont know because i am not a doctor but the best advice I or anyone can give you is to go to your orthodontist ASAP. Maybe nothing is wrong and what is going on with you is perfectly normal but then again you never know. Just to be sure, go see your doctor!! I'm sure you will be finee!!                                                        

    Good Luck!!  

  9. Hmmm, sharp kanine teeth...maybe your a vampire! lolz, joking sorry. But you could try advil instead of tylenol, then go to the dentist/orthodentist to get it checked out, and get more wax. It also might just be because your mouth isn't used to the braces being tightened.

  10. EDIT-

    Your braces are rubbing against your mouth too much. They probably did tighten them too much. Ask your orthodontist. They know more than us. Go to Wal * Mart and get the EQUATE children's pain reliever. It works way better than Tylenol. You might want to get the extra teeth pulled. Go to a kid's dentist... They give you laughing gas and stickers at the end lol.

    OMG? You had 8 pulled? I only had 4 lol.

    emmie♥

  11. i think ur braces are rubbing on your gums my friend had this...she got some sort of gel that stopped it from hurting too much...an im gettin braces soon =)

  12. Whatever the problem is, the braces will solve it over time.  For the time being, use your wax.

  13. You should really see your orthodontist before something worst happens. Don't be afraid of telling them what you are feeling because it can later become serious.

  14. talk to your orthodonist

  15. just go to the dentist/orthodontist or a professional teeth person to help you and tell you what's wrong and what symptom it is
