OK Folks, help me out!! I got my bottoms braced Tuesday, and since then, when I yawn or open my mouth wide, the bottom braces seem to tighten up. I have metal brackets, with two spaces where bicuspids were 2 weeks ago. Nothing fancy right now (ligs, no powerchains at the moment). It seems that if I open my mouth any wider (which I can do), I am going to pop my teeth out, or at least my brackets might pop off!

What is going on

Mine do the same thing, I think it just feels tight because your ligaments are moving.....I'm not an ortho, that's just what I thought it was.

Mine did the same thing and I thought I was a weirdo. Glad to hear it wasn't "just me".

Good topic. I have the same feeling but never thought to much about it. I am glad this is "normal"
