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?

Very normal. Try not to concentrate on it very much and everything will be allright!
Had full mouth metal braces for 21 months. Debonded April 2013. Now wearing clear plastic retainers every other night.

I have no formal dental or orthodontic education. Hence, all opinions expressed by me on this forum are those of an "informed consumer" and by no means intended as an expert advice.
