I just got my braces off and my teeth are very sensitive...?!


Question: I just got my braces off and my teeth are very sensitive....?
I'm 15, and yesterday afternoon I got my braces off. I had them for about 1 and 1/2 years, and the orthodontist said I did an excellent job brushing my teeth and gums. My braces on my molars were put rather low which causes my gums to kinda go up by my braces... Now when I brush my teeth hurt quite a bit. My bottom gums and some at the top even bleed when I brush my teeth, so its hard. While I had my braces on I had very healthy gyms.

How can I get my mouth back to normal.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
My gums were swollen and red and sore for about 2 days after I got my braces off. I think it is pretty common. Things will go back to normal. Rinse with some Listerine or warm salt water (it works) to get the swelling down and don't forget to continue brusing and flossing. It will be a little painful to do those things with sore gums but the better you do it, the less pain you will have. Good luck and congrats!Health Question & Answer
