hey guys i know what the blue cement does for my teeth it helps me not to touch my bottom teeth giving it space but was wondering does it get better in a week or two? i have the blue cement on both of my molars and i have braces on both upper and bottom teeths. Does chewing get any better? i cannot chew properly and it hurts a bit. also when do the orthondontist take the blue cement off?
Uuuggggghh the blue cement. I hated that stuff. The texture was so weird and... bleh. Anyway, it took me about a month, maybe 3 weeks, before chewing got to be more normal, once the cement started wearing down. Don't worry, eventually it does wear down and you'll be able to eat like normal. The orthodontist will take the cement off when your overbite is improved enough. For me, it took about... 10 months, I think. But it all depends on your individual case, and your orthodontist. I know one girl whose ortho never actually removed the cement. She doesn't care, because the blobs are so tiny by now, but it happens.
