I just got braces on my top teeth two weeks ago today, and already I have a concern.
I feel like the bands on my molars are pushing far up into my gums, and wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this, and if this is a normal part of the teeth moving?
Yeah, molar bands are boogers..... they *do* tend to bury into your gums, but there's not anything they can or will do about it.... sorry! Just hang in there!
