What intrigues me is that I am not in any pain. I know some people are cursing me right now. The ortho said before I left that if Im in that much pain call him but I felt just throbbing & sensitvity. Maybe after the spacers this is a walk in the park? Im confused b/c people are complaining about...

I wasnt expecting my bite to change from the spacers & the spongy feeling kind of freaked me out :shock: I have no idea of what to expect so I love this site & everyone here is great. It makes this journey so exciting knowing so many people are here for one another. Thanks for filling me in....

Tiffchelle- thanks for replying. Yeah Im not feeling pain just annoyance. Im such a baby though. I read some people after 3 days could chew & all & Im still not able to bite down without thinking my teeth will fall out ( I know they wont). They dont feel strong enough & kind of hurt when...

I meant I got spacers but on 3/28/06

Spacers still hurt since April 4th? I got 7 rubbers & 1 metal. They make my teeth feel so loose (I know its just a feeling) but it really bothers me. Is this normal? The throbbing doesnt help either but Advil & noodles make it better for time being. I get braced with ceramic uppers & low...
