My Teeth Are Very Sensitive Now I’m Wearing Braces. Is This Normal?

August 22nd, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Qureshi, I’m really hoping you can help me. I got braces just less than 4 months ago and now my teeth have gotten very sensitive. It’s mostly to cold things, like cold drinks and food like yoghurts that have been in the fridge. Sometimes if it’s cold outside the air actually affects my teeth and they feel sensitive even then! Is this normal, and what can be done about it? It really is a nuisance, and it’s very uncomfortable at times.

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

December 2nd, 2013
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.

The pain from invisalign aligners isn’t subsiding, should I be worried?

Q.

Hello there, I just wondered if you could help me out with something? I’m experiencing great pain, particularly in my front teeth and I’ve been using the invisalign treatment for around 5 weeks now. My orthodontist said it’s normal to experience pain and I did at first but then it subsided but honestly, it’s really painful and even the painkillers don’t seem to be making that much difference! Should I be worried about this? I understand it’s good that there’s a little bit of pain because then I know the treatment is working but I can’t cope with it much longer. Thanks for your time!
