Day 3: no feeling in teeth...normal?

[Heather1987]

okay so I am on day three and my bottom teeth are sensitive to touch and percussion WELL, you know when you kind of rub your finger nail or finger tip across the bottom of your teeth you can kind of feel it up in your gums (just normally not necessarily with braces just normal feeling)? Well, right now the majority of the movement is being done in my bottom teeth and whenever I rub or 'scratch' the top of my bottom teeth I cant feel it (but I can feel percussion and more pressurized pushing.)

Is this normal?

p.s sorry if this isnt explained very well....kinda hard to explain to begin with haha.

Yap, it's quite normal. You can feel your teeth differently. They now in shock and they will be still moving over a week or two then settle dawn. they can be painful for a couple of days, or not be and then sudden become painful. For me it's I have sensitive some teeth for some time then it switch to another tooth or teeth.

As far as I know (i.e. from my own experience), it's normal. I've had uppers for 2 months now and those teeth are still relatively 'numb'. Good times
