well i feel much better knowing that its not just me and that it is a somewhat normal occurrence

Has anyone experienced teeth clinching/grinding since being braced that they did not experience beforehand? I was never aware of any issues related to bruxism until I had my braces put on, now every night my teeth are clinching in my sleep so tightly that I wake up multiple times throughout the nigh...

I don't have the same exact kind of braces but I will say the first couple of days were really rough for me as well but I can almost promise you it will get better really soon my pain almost completely disappeared after the first week, and now besides minor cheek irritation barely feel them.

Just finished up my thanksgiving dinner and I am pleased to say everything went great it was just as good as any other, no broken brackets, no staining, no pain! So my question to you is how was your thanksgiving with braces? Hope all went well!

I've only had mine for two weeks now and the pain and discomfort are pretty much non existent at this point however i do not talk much so i guess that could be a factor? However its true, everyone is different.

I thought I was the only one with this problem! Ive been using carmex but as youve already stated, it isnt really a lasting solution.

So I had my braced put on last week on November 12, 2013 and originally my plan was to have ceramic braces placed on my top, front, 6 teeth and regular old metal braces placed on the rest. However after getting there my dentist told me they had a new product that they were offering at no extra cost ...
