I just got braces, and can't close my teeth together all the way...?

Question

Okay. I just got braces yesterday, and whenever I go to chew something, my top front teeth hit the braces before my back teeth can come together to chew. The only things I can eat are yogurt, pudding, mashed potatoes, etc. Will my teeth adjust so that they close together again?

Answer 1

They will ajust. I have braces for a tooth that wouldn't come down from my gum. At first it kept catching on the flesh of my lip but after about a week it moves. Don't worry braces work fast!!!!!

Answer 2

be easy until your teeth set. they will be shifting soon. the fun has just begun!
