i got rubber bands today, the ones that correct overbites. Well, they hurt soooo much,...thats normal, right? Well, since u have to take them out and put new ones in everyday..will they hurt like this everyday? Or, will i get used to the pain?
Catlovers141 answered Sunday May 20 2007, 9:40 am: Yes, the pain should go away. Even though you put new ones in everyday, your mouth will get used to having it in there after a few days. So don't worry about it.
However, if the pain doesn't go away after 4 or 5 days, go back to your orthodontist, because something could need adjustment.
For now, just eat soft foods and take pain medicine.
