Pressure on one tooth

#1 Post by railroad »

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.
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.

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. :D
