I got my Herbst around 2 months ago and a week ago the poles on the side that allow me to open and close are getting stuck when eating. I can still open my mouth but not all the way. It seems that the poles that go in each other are getting stuck inside one another. It usally fixes shortly after eating. Do I go see a orthodontist to get this fixed or is this normal? If it doesn’t become unstuck I have to pull the pole out of the other with me hand. This only happens when eating.
