What does it feel like? Gum surgery?

Question

Okay well i have braces, and i have an empty pace where a tooth should be, and my orthodontist, says the tooth is all they up in my gum, and i have to have oral surgery, he says that they will attach, a chain to the tooth up there, and slowly pull the tooth down. How does that work? Will it hurt, let me now!! Do they do it all at once, or do i go in every few weeks so they can pull on the chain?

Answer 1

I really don't know. But I know how you feel. I have braces too&I think I need oral surgery. I have a friend that has had oral surgery on her gums, she said it hurts a little for a week&u can't eat. Just like the first week when u got ur braces.
