This is my 3rd week into braces, clear self-litigating now. It seems like the top left part feels tighter than before? Other quadrants feel ok. Has anyone experienced this? I thought as time goes by, they are suppose to feel less tight. My ortho sees his patients every 2 months.
I've been in braces for a little over 2 months and it seems like every couple of days a different tooth or group of teeth will hurt, feel tight, or otherwise wonky. Perfectly normal, ortho confirmed it's fine.
