I had my first adjustmant on 09/06/2006. After that the first couple of days my teeth were very sore. Since then my teeth were feeling real good until the past couple of days. Now my teeth are as sore as they were during the first adjustmant.
I've got one particular tooth which is quite tipped, and that seems to hurt for a couple of days, then stop for a few days, then start again. I guess it must be when the pressure is sufficient for it to do another little "spurt" of moving.
So I guess we're all unique. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Maybe take some mild painkillers if you feel you need them.
Thanks guys. I am not to worried, but it just seems odd that my teeth are as sore now as they were after my first adjustment. Actually they are even more sore. i don't know. My problem is mostly gaps so it takes a lot longer to see much improvements in closing these gaps.
