Tooth pain
I have braces. I got them during feb? And I had my last appointment at the ortho around the beginning of august. And now last sat, I bit into a pretzel (not too hard and not too soft but it caused my tooth to hurt) and then two days after, my tooth (my front teeth) started to hurt. Like I don't know, I think it is the pain you get when the ortho tightens the wires or something? I think it is just that my teeth are shifting because of the braces and the feeling is just the pain from tightening but I don't know because only one specific tooth hurts, what is wrong? Do you think it is anything bad? Will my teeth fall out or something?

Nope, you're teeth are fine. When i had braces, my teeth didn't start hurting until a couple months later. (unlike everyone else who's teeth hurt right when they got them on). Basically, your teeth are just moving, and so sometimes all of them can hurt, or only just one.
I would reccomend maybe taking an advil, but again, if you're like me and don't like taking pills for things, then i would just call your orthodontist and tell him/her that. Usually the receptionist will tell you something that you can do to make it feel better.
Good luck!

Your teeth won't fall out any time soon. The braces have caused them to become sensitive to certain things. I have a similar problem but it's not because of braces.
I would start brushing with Sensodine or a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth three times a day. It's designed to prevent the pain you get when you bite in to certain foods whether you have braces or not. You also need to tell your dentist about this development
asap like the last person mentioned.
You'll notice a big difference with the pain once you start brushing with this kind of toothpaste or gel.

No, they won't fall out. I went through the same thing. but I actually broke the wire as well.
but you're right.. it's because your teeth are gradually moving.
You should be fine. Just mention it at your next ortho appointment. Or if it gets worse, give them a call.
