[|Human|] Earlier today I got my braces tightened. They put on a chain of elastic a instead of seperate ones on each bracket and used a stronger wire. I ate Mac and Cheese right after my appointment and brushed my teeth. Later that day after Scuba Diving class I tried to drink ice tea and ended up in tears. It felt like the nerves in my front two teeth were all exposed, kind of like when a dentist is drilling your tooth and hits a nerve, but in my whole front two teeth. Is something wrong or should I subside in a few days? (I tried drinking some warmer Gatorade and the same thing happened)
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint if there is severe sensitivity while Chat Doctor. . In case if the symptoms are severe it can be due to excessive tightening of braces. The symptoms tend to subside in 3 to 4 days or maximum of a week but in case if the symptoms still does not improve consult your Orthodontist and get evaluated. As of now you can start applying desensitizing toothpaste over the sensitive teeth. Cool your food to room temperate before consuming. Do cool compresses over the lip to reduce inflammation. Take pain relievers like Ibuprofen. You can also apply numbing gel like Lidocaine. Hope this helps.
