My Teeth Have Become Ridiculously Sensitive To The Cold Weather Now I Have My Braces. I Would Love Some Practical Advice?

Q.

Hello Dr Patel. I hope you can help me because my problem is becoming a little too much to deal with at this time. I got braces a couple of months ago and now I’ve noticed that my teeth appear to have become ridiculously sensitive to the cold. Not just cold drinks but if it’s slightly colder outside than normal then I get quite extreme pain just from breathing! Is there anything I can do about this without going back to my orthodontist? Kind of in a bad way here and would love some practical advice. Thanks a lot.

I have a very low pain threshold, how much pain am I likely to experience when receiving lingual braces?

Q.

Hello, I have a very, very low pain threshold and even the slightest nip is really painful to me. I am looking into receiving lingual braces, removable ones preferably in case the pain is too much. Can you tell me how much pain I am likely to experience from lingual braces? Have you ever had any patients that suffer from the same problem? If so how did they manage the discomfort? Thank you in advance.
