How much do braces hurt on a scale 1 10?

Malpositioned teeth can lead to problems such as difficulty in chewing and talking. It is the result of genetic factors or the acquisition of certain habits like sucking thumb. Braces are a well-known method for fixing such problems. They slowly shift your teeth to the desired position. Do not be afraid, as many teenagers your age wear braces, and is completely normal. But, you can visit an orthodontist to learn more about it.

Hi, I was born in 2003. I am experiencing problems with my jaw. It started hurt gradually, whenever I would brush my teeth it would make cracking noise, in 2022 it started to become serious, it hurt for 3 months, I couldn't open my mouth wide, it would hurt when I would eat and chew. It stopped for a month and it started again, now whenever I yawn, eat or brush my teeth l hear a cracking noise.

You may have temporomandibular joint disorder or TMJ. Jaw pain, clicking noises when moving your jaw, trouble opening your mouth wide - these are signs. Causes include grinding teeth, stress, and misaligned jaw. Eating soft foods can help. Using warm compresses too. Relaxation methods, like deep breathing. If pain continues, see a dentist or oral surgeon.t.

Hi can braces help me to align my teeth? Or are there other options too? See I am a college girl. My teeth are not properly set. I wanted to fix it. But also I have seen one of my cousins had to wear the braces for quite a long time and it is very difficult sometimes to eat. So is there any other way to align the teeth? To whom should I consult? I am from Silivri.

Female | 23

yes braces can align your teeth. You have to consult an orthodontist. other ways of alignment of teeth are Invisalign or aligners and ceramic braces. if your teeth correction are moderate then aligners can help but if too much complex then only option is braces. You can go for self ligation braces which is much more comfortable

A month ago, I had a filling done. Only after I eat do I begin to experience any discomfort. Food becomes jammed up in the teeth filling area. It's as if there's a infection going around. What is the best treatment for removing the infection?

Male | 27

local generalised xray is needed for that particular tooth. if filling has not helped the pain, then maybe a RCT will be required.can comment on it only after seeing the x-ray.

for the discomfort after the filing a simple solution could be to just visit the same Dentist back & tell him to reduce the filling ti get in Occlusion

Male | 20

Drinking mouthwash by accident brings concern. Chlorhexidine is strong; it may cause stomach pain, nausea, and dizziness. These effects could go away alone. Drink lots of water to dilute mouthwash. But if unwell or your issues continue, seek medical care.
