Does the brace hurt?
There is usually a transient adaptation phase of 5/7 days during which the new device can create some transient discomfort.
The most common complaints due to the presence of an orthodontic brace are a slight sensation of soreness or pressure on the teeth, a slight increase in salivation and the presence of some small aphthae: the orthodontist, depending on the type of brace, will recommend some useful tools to relieve the discomfort and eventually will indicate an anti-inflammatory medicine.
