It's been a while since my last post!
I have been braced about 21 months and recently started experiencing very painful tooth sensitivity, mostly where my elastics are attached. Is this a normal occurance when teeth start to move? I have been wearing elastics for about a year now, but only recently have I been diligent about wearing them..
Cold and heat both bring the pain, and sometimes it even hurts to breath in through my mouth.
Should I call the ortho, or just get some toothpaste for sensitivity?
