?...Braces...?

Last Monday, the orthodontist told me that I could get my braces taken off, and I'm going in for that tomorrow, but last Monday, when he told me I could get em taken off, he took the bands off of my back teeth. They are now pretty sore, and it hurts when I chew food with them. Is this normal?

Totally normal, trust me, I had them twice, it would be weird if they werent sore. Congrats on getting them off too!! SMILE!!! :)

Reply:I dont know if its 'normal', but i didnt feel anything like that when my braces came off. Stay away from hard foods like chips and nuts. You could have ice cream if that makes you feel better, but the important thing is to just give your orthodontist a call. Did you get retainers? If so, do NOT make the mistake of forgetting to put them on at night. I did for about 6 months, and i had to get new ones (old ones dont fit) and i have to wear them for an extra 3 years!
