Braces and teeth discolouration help?

i got braces a week ago and 3 days ago and they were fine for a while.The yesterday i think after eating or brushing one of my front big tooth (you know the one) on the upper jaw became really achy and sentative and hurt alot when i touched it. Then today after lunch it happened with my other front big tooth on the top jaw and now tonight they both are really sensative. Whats happened?





And also about my teeth discolouration. They are slightly yellow with bits of really white flecks on the sides of my teeth that are,whilst small, kinda unattravtive and i was wondering if is there some way to get rid of these after my braces treatment? Because yeah if im going to get straight teeth through braces im kinda thinking it wont be worth it because i will have oddly coloured teeth as a end product and it wont look any more attractive. So yeah is there a way to get white, evenly coloured teeth that is permanent? Please help =)

Yeah the same thing happened to me. If you have bands on it make sure it didnt fall off cause that can be the cause. You also may have been brushing to hard or maybe with the wrong brush. remember to brush with the braces brush,brush not too hard and in circularr motions. If it was the food i would lay off chomping down on the hard foods or biting reall hard take it in small steps..thats what im learning from braces:DD





As for the discoloration to make sure it isnt too stained while you have the braces and after you have to brush for 2 miuites with the proper brrrush making sure you get rid of the food and plaque in it..this is part of the cause of the yellowness. Secondly a good iddea would be a teeth whitening. Thats the only one i can think of. I will be getting this after my braces. If its too expensive or you just dont wanna do it thrrough youre dentist i reccomend nightly whitening gel and whitening strips that can be found in most drug stores. You probably wont need this till after the braces tho. It gives it an even colour and youre teeth will be looking straight and shiny! lol had to add that :P hope this helps phewph =0
Reply:I've had braces for about eight months now.


My braces went yellow after I had chicken noodles.


Because of the flavor and some days teeth just hurt, there isn't always a reason.


Also after you get you're braces off most dentists offer free teeth whitening.





Look after you're braces, the better you look after them. The sooner you get them off.
Reply:The purpose of the brace is to realign your teeth, so they are constantly under stress from the brace. So I'm afraid you will be stuck with the pain. Every time you go to have the brace adjusted it will hurt. Sorry





As for the discoloration, cut out tea and coffee and don't eat curries. Brush your teeth after every meal and floss regularly. When your brace comes off you will have pristine white teeth
Reply:Go back to your dentist they may be on to tight.


Oh and get a electric toothbrush as well it will do a better job


My grandson had to use a red dye before he brushed his teeth that way he knew if he had don't it right


Or get some sensitive toothpaste
Reply:Commercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen peroxide and are expensive and inconvenient. A cheap and natural tooth whitening home remedy uses few strawberries but certain precautions have to be taken. I found the information at http://www.aches.in/toothwhitening.html
Reply:when they remove your braces, they cut off the metal pieces which are glued onto your teeth. then they kinda grind your teeth to get rid of any left over glue which makes your teeth really smooth. then they polish your teeth to make them even smoother and to help whiten your teeth
Reply:Well for the discloration most orthodontists offer free whitening when you get your braces off. But if yours doesn't you can always go and have them bleached somewhere else. I have the same exact problem as you and my ortho just happens to be one of those places that offers it free.





You may have been brushing too hard, you could have bent the wire, or you may have loosened up a bracket. Or it could just be because the braces are doing their job. If you are really concerned you can go see your orthodontist.
