Grinding teeth

[Sinead]

Hi everyone, does any one out there have trouble closing their teeth at the back because of their brace? After 9 weeks my teeth are still very sore and i can only manage to chew gently on one side!!

Also i have my brace on 9 weeks now and i still see no results!! Am i just being too impatient?

ya hang in there and be more patient. The first 12 weeks or so the ortho can't do the strong movements and adjustments since the glue is not 100% bonded for that type of work. Soon he/she will put on powerbands and you will see some good movement and you bite will get better.

Good, because I have the same problem, cant chew, front teeth hit bottom brackets, lol. Getting better though!
