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.

Is there a way I can minimise the number of appointments needed when receiving lingual braces?

Q.

Hello Mr. please could you tell me about these lingual braces? my dentist mentioned them the other day. he suggested that I have braces and I got a bit upset as I really don’t like them. I am not comfortable at the dentist so after managing to stick to a consistent appointment routine/plan it was a bit of a kick in the face to hear that. he then obviously said that I had a lot of options and that a lingual brace could be one. are there different form of lingual brace ? I want to have a quick method to minimise the amount of appointment I’ll have to be in you see. please could you advise me? thanks
