Can I get braces If I have sensitive teeth? Should I remove teeth before braces? How to relieve tooth sensitivity?
As an orthodontic patient, getting a regularly scheduled adjustment can cause teeth to change their position, which can make them more sensitive than normal, and more susceptible to pain and discomfort. This level of discomfort to your teeth and gums varies depends on each individual patient, and is different from other types of tooth sensitivity because it is not permanent and will only last a few days. Invisalign is a great alternative for people who suffer extreme tooth sensitivity.
It is a removable system that uses a series of medical-grade plastic aligners to gradually shift the teeth over time. Demineralization – This is a situation that occurs when people do not take proper care of their teeth while they have braces. Food that is left on the teeth may turn to aci which eats into the teeth leading to a weakened area or a cavity.
When this happens, your teeth can become very sensitive. Food and bacteria left on teeth create acids and cause demineralization, a weakening of tooth enamel. You never know when that sensitive tooth is going to act up.
