I've had braces for quite a while now and if it makes you feel better I've never actually had any pain with tightening at all. I did have spacers though and they were awful lol




I just researched what spacers are, yeah that definitely looks painful lol

Is it rare and is there any unexplained reason if you had braces but your teeth goes back into its original position I met my orthodontist last year and she told me it was due to the growth of my jaw and one possible way to get braces again was through the painful jaw surgery 😱 or actually wait until like I’m in my late prime years I’m only 21 like 25 before checking again to then get braces does anyone know why does that happen :/ because I went through a lot of pain to have my teeth straighten for about a year and half only for it to go back to how it was before braces and having to have 8 teeths out in total before getting braces ;/. I know it was bad and soo painful.

I think it may be due to your wisdom teeth coming in, if not taken out straight after the treatment they can cause reversal to it.
