my second adjustment was today, and well my teeth dont hurt. They did after the first adjustment but not today. Is this good or bad. Im my point of view if your teeth are hurting it means they are moving but what do i know right.
The day and days after I got my braces on nothing hurt, no chafing inside the mouth or sores or anything. Maybe just a little pressure, but my teeth moved a ton. Then after my first adjustment and everytime they have to reglue a band, WOAH! I think it's cause I have to bite down on the spit sucker for 20 minutes while they put the bracket(s) on and that puts crazy pressure on my teeth. But it's been three days since my last adjustment and I got elastics and a "figure eight" and my teeth are hurting and are super sensitive to cold and brushing them hurts. So don't worry! Pain doesn't always equal gain!
