Ever since I got braced I notice that instead of my usual clenching of teeth, I am thrusting my tongue against my teeth which I don't bring into occlusion. I am getting pretty sore around the edges of my tongue with tooth impressions on it.
Does anyone else out there seem to have that sort of tongue irritation? Any tricks/suggestions as to how to lessen it.
I'm also concerned that if this problem persists, when my teeth are finally done I may force them out of alignment again....
Happy Holidays, for those who can eat well, have some extra for your soup and mashed potatoes friends!!!
I have exactly the same thing. It goes away for a while when I forget about it, but after an adjustment when my teeth are hurting again, I seem to start it up all over. Sometimes my tongue just feels too big for my mouth. Plus I get this weird clicking in my jaw, but I guess it's the odd things that go with having braces.
