Teeth hurt after having them sanded?
I just got my braces off an hour ago and they sanded my teeth, too. I haven't been feeling any pain when I bite down yet. You may have sensitive teeth. I'd take some pain meds like aleve or something. It may just be your teeth are getting used to no braces. I think if the pain persists, you should call your doctor. I hope this helps. I seems to me that your teeth are hurting like when you first got them in, only this time you got them off.
Reply:First of all, the only sanding that should have been done would have been to remove the glue that was used to cement your brackets on. If they sanded something to change your bite and you didn't have any other dental work done (filling, crown, etc) than no, its not normal.





Teeth will be sensitive for quite awhile after braces are removed. I would try some baby anbesol and ibuprofen. Also, Sensodyne toothpaste. If the pain continues past 48 - 72 hours, call your ortho.
Reply:I too had my teeth sanded after getting my braces off- Jen D. doesn't seem to have much experience with orthodontics.





Anyway- call your dr. now. There is no reason to wait. Call and see what he/she says. It certainly may resolve in a few days, but it may not- so why wait on yahoo answers for 10 varying non-professional OPINIONS.





Your doctor can help :) Please call- there is no reason for you to be in pain.
Reply:If the pain makes you go crazy, there's no reason for you to stay on your seat and suffer. Go to your orthodontist immediately and let him explain to you the effects of having your teeth sanded. You may also ask advice from a doctor if it is just a normal pain, an inflammation or an infection already.





I'll recommend you to make use of OraMD to secure your oral parts from bad bacteria. Also to maximize healing process to get the pain off.
