Sore Molars
Posted: Sat Apr 15, 2006 12:13 am
Hi All-
I have been braced for a little under 2 weeks. I just got my spacers off on Monday and the molar bands put on. When I had the spacers in, the right side hurt a lot more so the little chewing I could do, I had to do on my left side.
Now with the bands on I cannot chew on the left side. I have an aching pain on the inside of the top molar so biting down is impossible. If I use my finger and push that same spot I feel the pain. If I am not chewing or anything I dont really feel anything. Is this normal? I am curious because it is a different pain from anything else going on in my mouth. I am still a little tender but mostly just my front teeth (it still feel like my teeth might pop out of my head if I bite into a sandwhich with my front teeth).
I asked my roommate who had braces and she said she didnt remember that kind of pain in her molars. I dont want to be one of those worriers but I dont want to sound like an idiot calling my ortho so soon if this is normal.
Thanks All!!!
