    Headache after wire tightened

    Hello, I have braces for the last 5 months and just recently had them tightened and I have had a headache for 4 days. Is this normal?

    I had a headache for 2-3 days straight after I got my braces put on which I think is equivalent to getting them tightened. I just popped an 800 mg ibupropen every 6 hours and slept through it!

    Yea. My whole face felt pressure. If your canines are moving, those are really LONG teeth, and extend up closer to your eye sockets... lol



    The Crime: Protruding upper canine, upper and lower crowding.
    Sentence: 2 years
    Fine: $4,100
    First day with brackets: 12/05/2011. 4 Extractions: 12/12/11. 1st Adjustment: 01/04/12. 2nd Adjustment: 2/15/12 Pulling the canine down. 3rd Adjustment 3/28/12 (canine's in the wire, and pulled into position!). 4th adjustment: 5/16/2012 (closing the gaps!)

    Thanks for the responses...I do think that is the tooth that they are moving..sorry but not up on the proper name. I was taking a few advils for the 4 days and slept lots, I heard that you can have a headache for a little while after but started to get worried after the third day.
