Metal Mouth Message Board

So i just learned about this website from a coworker and had i known about it before i feel that i wouldn't have been so anxious at my bracketing appointment. HI, I am doram, i am 23 and i have had my braces for exactly one week. and let me tell you it still hurts. Sometimes when i'm talking i will bite my togue or cheeck (something i did before the braces were put on but hurts much more now), i also find myself spiting a lot more, randomly, well i guess mainly when i'm talking, embarassing. Also my teeth are still very tender. Is this nornal?

Yes, somewhat normal (at least comapred to my first 14 days). I am on Day 15 right now .

Things get better with each passing day.

Very normal. Try not to concentrate on it very much and everything will be allright!
