i got my braces a week ago.i had 2 teeth on top that needed minor adjusting.for 2 days the top teeth were sore and now those teeth are perfect..now today my bottom teeth are hurting and feel loose.maybe that means they are getting ready to move.
how long before everyone noticed a difference?

About 5 days into having braces I started noticing changes - but BAD changes
spaces were created in places I didnt think they needed to be created. This is what my 4 front teeth started out as ( XXXX ) about 5 days into treatment or so they looked like this (X XX X) I was going crazy

thinking maybe my ortho doesnt know what the hell he is doing. But now those spaces have closed up and Im just kind of going with the flow...


but ya! people did say you would be surprised on how fast your teeth will move.

Me too--with in the first 5days there was the loose feeling, but I couldn't see any thing changed. Then it went away for several days, then at the 14day mark it came back--with a vengance-----I had a premolar on the lower Left that was very loose and sore, sore, sore.............it must have shifted because my bite is horendous now, I am not hitting in the right place on my Left back molars---------and now I see that this has shifted that tooth back leaving a space--presumably to move the rest of the teeth back in line-----the soreness lasted 3-4days, today it's better, but the bite is still a bit weird, but I am getting used to it.............

so, that feeling definately comes and goes---good luck!!!!

Me too- braced nearly 3 weeks ago, no 'bite', everyday a different tooth loose and another one hurts. Glad to know im not alone Not noticed a change YET but getting excited that if they loose somethings happening! Good luck all
