Braces Tighten ....
I went yesturday to get my braces tighten for the second time. My question is, i dont feel like the braces are tight after she change the wire and today ( the day after) i have no pain at all. Could they move at all or will it just be another month and probably with no change? Please answer me as soon as possible thanks.

Adult patients ask this all of the time. You do not have to feel tightness or pain to have progress. A light,continuous force is more ideal. Many adults say "make tight doc!" and you can actually get less tooth movement if your braces are too tight. I'm sure you'll get progress. Your in month 2, just sit back and enjoy the ride!

lol I can associate with this. I remember thinking my ortho must've actually forgotten to do the adjustment the first time I didn't feel any tightness or pain. But quite a few of my adjustments have been pain free now and i'm still seeing progress!
