Metal Mouth Message Board

It's day three and I'm feeling particular pressure on one tooth, the left front one. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if I should call the dr.

I have had a few days where I experience uncomfortable pressure on just one tooth in my mouth, usually a canine or a molar. I am equating it to a tooth shifting in my mouth and it usually only lasts for 24 hours. Maybe that's your case?

I think this is normal. I am constantly having pressure on different teeth, and I know exactly what you mean. You feel an isolated pressure on ONE tooth only... This should pass, especially given this is ONLY a day 3.

Don't worry! You are going to feel pain or pressure on seemingly random teeth throughout your whole time in braces. I will have weeks where everything is fine and painless, and then a couple days of 1 or 2 sore teeth. It's how I know the braces are still working lol. It doesn't hurt to bring it up to your ortho either if you really feel concerned.
