Oww my tooth hurts when i eat?

Question

i got a new bracket put on my second to back molar on my lower jaw on tuesday,, its like a tube bracket which the wire goes through and has hooks on, and now the tooth directly above it really hurts when i eat or put any pressure on it.

it didnt hurt at all before i got this new bracket put on,

i have a dentist check up next week anyway,,

but could it hurt because of the new bracket?

Answer 1

yeah, most likely the reason why it hurts would be the bracket, but if the tooth came a little loose when the bracket came on then it could hurt because of that.

I would try to wiggle that tooth a lot if you think its coming loose, but I would also try to set it on the bracket a lot because if it is because of it then getting used to the pain would be another idea.

Answer 2

You are biting on the new bracket, so it needs to be ground down
