Just got elastics and it feels like my jaws are moving

#1 Post by john123 »

Hello. Just had elastics put in after getting my RPE off and I'm not sure if this is something normal. Because I had an underbite before my sarpe surgery, I don't really know what a perfect bite is supposed to feel like. Sometimes my bottom jaw moves and my bottom front teeth briefly hit the inside of my top front teeth. It's almost like my bottom jaw is vibrating a little bit. Is this because of the elastics and is this normal?

I'm not a great person to answer, because I'm not in elastics yet and my daughter just got hers earlier today, but it sounds like it's probably pretty normal. Could the vibrating be your muscles trying to settle into a new position? Good luck! I hope that everything eases up soon.
