Up till now I have only had braces on my upper teeth. My upper teeth come down about even on my lower teeth, where they should come out over the lowers. And my orthodontist said if I got braces on the bottoms, it would start pulling them out forward. And if I have braces on my uppers and they are being pulled forward as well, the uppers will never come out over the lowers.
But I have a couple teeth on the left side of my uppers that are refusing to come out to the side over the bottoms. The teeth on the right side came out over the bottoms no problem. So he is going to put the braces on the bottoms. I’ll have amonth to get used to them.Then next month he will put some rubber bands to help pull those teeth out to the side.
So today I got braces on my bottom teeth. He used the ceramic brackets in the front, and the metal brackets on the sides like he did with the upper teeth.
Just curious if you felt a lot of facial pressure when you first got your braces? Did they hurt?
