Itchiness driving me CRAZY!
The top brace itched a tiny bit, but nothing much.
So getting the bottom brace on was a bit of a shock - they are just permanently, massively itchy. I would prefer pain to this, at least it's less irritating and you can take a painkiller.
What is the cure for itchy teeth? I'm sure it is because they are dying to move, but are too crowded against each other to do it quickly enough or something.
arrrggh - make it stop!

That's interesting. I cannot remember a single patient claming about itchiness.alexa wrote:Don't worry...I know lots of people who descrbe the braces experience as "itchy". It'll get better.
But I myself can relate. I would call the sensation I usually have after archwire changes a penetrating itchy pain.
My ortho seems to be reluctant in believing me. He's always like when I tell him about my itchy pain. Btw. I'm absolutely sure that in my case it's not an allergic problem.

Until now I've never heard of teeth having an "itching" feeling. Maybe it's the way that the nerve is perceiving the feeling (??)
I wonder if Dr. J or Dr. Randall know anything about this sensation?

My wisdom teeth felt very "itchy" when they were coming through and sometimes they even tickled (and not in a good way )
It definitely wasn't my gums as the sensation felt like it was coming from deep within the tooth. There was nothing I could do to make it stop but it went away eventually.
It might be an unusual phenomenon but perhaps it has to do with the differences in individuals' perception of pain/sensation.

My teeth itched quite a bit when I first got braced. I noticed quite a bit of itching the past few days after my last adjustment. When they itch, they hurt quite a bit as well. I figured it was related to tooth movement.
