Question

hello

i just got braces

they really hurt

got them 2 days ago

i think its called an overbite when u bite down and ur top teeth r in front, well thts what i have and when i bite down now my top teeth hit the bottom braces. like when i eat. what shoud i do?

Answer 1

it will go away

and you will have to get used to it cuz every time u get new more braces or power chains it hurts

when they change colors it doesnt really hurt

Answer 2

i have an overbite too. and when i got my braces it first did that 2 me. i just waited and soon it went away. if it bothers u that much, i would ask ur orthodontist. :)

Answer 3

u know what that's really hard to say all I can say is just that to tear off the food and then like gently press down before releasing quickly.... and then change to a different side...... it just takes time and then slowly u well get used to it

Answer 4

my friend said the same thing. she said she called up her dentist and he said it was usually normal for that because braces r 2 help ppl who have overbites. my dentist said the same thing, except i dont have braces yet, but i will be getting them very soon, i hope. when u eat, try biting normally like u dont have an overbite, so u can get used 2 it and know wat u r doing when u get them off. and in about id say 1 or 2 weeks, u will feel much more comfortable then when u got them on 2 days ago. just see if u can keep up the working hard and good luck with the braces and ur eating with them on!! by the way, no gum, candy or anything like that, because it will get stuck in ur braces and will really hurt when ur dentist will have 2 get it out, my friend did that and hated the experience and never did it again!! good luck!

Answer 5

Call your dentist and see if it's normal, and maybe ask if he can do anything, there really is nothing else you can do besides figure out what he wants you to do.

Answer 6

that happened to me too. it goes away a couple days after you get used to your braces.
