A member asked:
How much time should my teeth be tender after getting my braces tightened?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Braces: It usually takes about two hours after the braces are tightened to generate a response from the tissues around the teeth and this is the time when you might experience the worst sensitivity, afterwards it should be getting better. If not please contact your provider for mire details.

I know that rubber bands are used to perfect the bite in the teeth,I was wondering that when braces are removed, is it normal for the bite to not look as tight after a few weeks? Because now theres no more force of the bands, so the bite loosens up?
