I'm 3 months into treatment and I have powerchains on my molars connecting to the premolars and canines on the bottom teeth as well as class III elastics (upper 1st molar connected to lower canine). My canines feel AWFUL! The pain is much sharper than in my incisors or molars. One of them even clicked when I bite down.
Dude, not abnormal at all. As the bite changes, which it does DAILY, you will experience tons of changes in how the teeth look and feel. I get popping and clicking all of the time. Mostly, it settles 3-4 days after an adjustment. Moving teeth are loose, and loose teeth make noise. It is what it is. Just revel in the fact that things are changing, when you bite down and it doesn't feel like your own mouth, that is a good thing! Good luck with your treatment!
I have had the clicking lol. Sometimes the type of pain is also different. Sometimes it's just pain. Sometimes it feels like sensitivity to cold pain. Sometimes it feels like sinus pain. All varieties.
