Why are my teeth all of a sudden sensitive to cold and hot?

Braces - Teeth sensitive to cold/hot?

  • I got my braces tightened on the 19th and ever since the 20th I can't have anything cold or hot as it makes my tooth ache like crazy and even puts pain in my ear. Is this normal and will the pain go away? I'm contacting the Orthodontist tomorrow as their not open today but I just want to know from everyone experiences. I've only had braces for 3 months and everything was fine until the 20th. I've also had an X-ray and my teeth checked by the dentist before I got my braces on and everything was fine.

  • Answer:

    Did you recently have them tightened? It is because your teeth are moving and aren't used to the force the brace is putting on the teeth. I got my braces fitted on the 20th (last Thurs) and mine are still very sensitive, I had a shooting pain in my front tooth and they were aching like crazy! Just tell all your symptoms to the ortho and see what they say. Good luck!
