Calling all people with braces!

When does this occur? Is it when you talk / open your mouth or just at random times?

When I press on my teeth with my tongue.

I got braces yesterday, no my teeth are not popping, but I cant really press them down on my tongue as its too tender.

Yes that is normal. It's probably just the wires adjusting to the movement of your teeth (braces temporarily make your teeth looser as they are being moved around).

I would recommend to stop doing that if it makes you uncomfortable; in any case you shouldn't do it often

If you're ever worried just ask your Dentist / Orthodontist.

That is probably it Silly me.

I'm going to look it up a bit more but that sounds about right, thank you.

You're welcome. I only had them approximately 15 months, but I felt the pain and inconvenience was worth it once they were gone.

Oh gosh, be ready for pain

I got mine last week and day 2 and 3 were really awful. But it gets better

I have no pain at all now but they are clicking and it's worrying me slightly...
