I just got braces 4 days ago?

Question

the pain on my gums dont hurt as much but my teeth feel weak( even some are wobbly) . is this normal? i can't chew anything that i was able to before. For the past four days, iv'e been eating soup, ice cream, and anything soft. Help!

Answer 1

That is normal, your teeth will probably stop hurting within a few days, stick to soft foods like you have been doing, and don't have anything really hard for a month or so, such as ribs or corn on the cob for example.  Soon enough, your teeth will be back to normal and you will be able to have your favorite foods again.

Answer 2

Yea its because you teeth is slowly moving into place. soon you will get used to it and you will be able to eat some normal stuff again~

Answer 3

Yep, you are experiencing normal pains. Right now he probably has you on thin wires too, which means you won't notice perfect teeth, but it will still change your smile. Each time you go in for a tightening, you should expect this same kind of pain. Find liquid foods and soups. I've also found that brushing with an electronic tooth brush is sometimes massaging.

Answer 4

Yes that is completly normal.

I got my braces on about two years ago, and for the first week! my teeth hurt like crazy.

&& your quite lucky becuase my gums were throbing.

If the pain is really bad, just try sucking on cold things.

Take Tylonal extra strength.

Get some rest, and affoid doing physical activites becuase headaches make teeth aches worse in my oppion.

:]

Hope ya teeth feel better.

:]&& hey, the pain is all worth it.  

Answer 5

it will last about a week mine did

Answer 6

Completely normal for them to be wobbly. Otherwise, they couldn't move and be manipulated into the new positions. Most likely, about a week or two after your appointments is when the teeth solidify into their new positions... until your next appointment when the orthodontist adjusts them again!

That's how braces work.

Answer 7
