Banding

#1 Post by metalgrill »

I had my bands put on today and I'm having my brackets in a few days. They feel so weird in my mouth I hope I can get use to them sooner than later. Will my mouth be sore over the next few days? Right now I'm not feeling any pain at all...I wasn't sure if that would change over the next week or so.

I have bands on all eight of my molars and I didn't have any soreness from them alone (two of them were applied a week before braces and the rest as my teeth started to line up).

Thanks KK for the advice!!! I will definately be following some of your advice. It's hard eating but I think I'll get the hang of that soon.

stick with warm salt water rinses--that should toughen up your cheeks to de-sensitize them.
