Numb teeth after getting braces.
I just got my braces put on today =( I really did not want to have them, but my parents said I do not have a choice in the matter. They are having an over bite corrected. Any way two hours later and my teeth feel numb. Should my teeth be feeling this way? I do not think they put anything on me to numb up my mouth to get the braces so why am I feeling numb now?

Try giving it some time. Your teeth are in stress right now because you just had the braces put on. If your teeth still feel that was the next day call your dental and see what they can advise.

Yea your mouth is just stressed out right now. When I had my braces put in the first time my mouth was sore for three weeks. So I would had loved for them to be numb better then hurting.
Helpful tip: Use your dental wax until you get use to the braces. Otherwise the inside of your mouth will get all scraped up and raw.
