AnswerBank Answer:
Why do braces cause discomfort?
Teeth are bones. Your jaw is a bone. Orthodontics move bone in bone and this is the main cause of discomfort. Pain medications can assist in alleviating this pain. Always speak to your dentist or orthodontist if you're experiencing orthodontic-related pain. Generally, some discomfort is felt two to three days following an orthodontic treatment or adjustment.
