Answer 1

Hi!

Don't worry about that, it's normal. You must trust your orthodontist if he said  it's normal, it's his job and I'm sure he knows what he does. Of course it hurts when you eat or talk, but remember it' just momentary.

You must be patient. The result will satisfy you!

Bye!

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Yep it is perfectly normal:)

Answer 4

normally i would say thats normal because my mouth constantly hurt for over a week when i got my braces, but im not sure because youve had them for a month. if your orthodontist says its normal try asking your dentist next time you see him/her. for now the most you can do is put up with it

hope it gets better

Answer 5

Yes it is - don't worry about it. As your teeth move, you're going to have to learn what "normal" is all over again.

I got my braces taken off a year ago, and still my teeth still feel strange sometimes, not like they used to. You'll just have to grow accustomed to them.

Good Luck!

Answer 6

yes its totally normal thats what braces are for...and your tooth problem is just part of the process it will eventually move and your mouth will be fine
