The molars are the ones that hurt, my braces dont hurt as much now. I can't bite down on anything because of the ketac cement they placed on my rigth and left top molar. Is this normal, will the pain ever go away so that I can chew my food. I can't chew on anything. I got my braces on a Friday and it's Tuesday and the cement still hurts.
Hi, I have braces too, but not molar cement. I would take some aspirin or other pain reliever. Wait about three days and if it still hurts, you should contact your orthodontist and ask him if this is normal.
I had cement put on molars too, to stop top and bottom brackets clashing. Are you definitely sure it's the cement which hurts, because it's not meant to? And chewing, despite feeling no pain, will be quite hard, that won't go away until the cement is removed. Edit: Not to sound a little big-headed, but I think it's purely because the brace is doing its work. Your back teeth, molars especially, hurt a lot longer than the other teeth. I've had top and bottom braces, and in both instances, the back, bigger teeth have hurt for a good week longer than the rest. I'd advise you sit it out till this Sunday. If the pain continues, or hasn't softened, I'd seek help then. But I have honestly found that big back teeth hurt especially more.
