I've had my Damon Qs on for 3 weeks now and for the most part I was okay. But today has been just awful. My teeth (mostly my bottom front 6) are driving me insane. I'm on the verge of ripping my braces off because I can't stand it. How do you guys deal with when your teeth hurt?

I wouldn't try to rip anything off... for me, my teeth have ached off and on from the beginning, mostly off though. You get used to it after a while. :wink:

Ibuprophen and wine at night when needed. Sometimes having some wine was the only way to catch a break from the pain. Luckily those phases don't last long.
