Jaw Spasms

magichatter06

I recently got braces a week and a day ago..Damon kind to be exact.

And the past few days I have noticed whenever I wake up my lower jaw will spasm causing my lower teeth to knock my front teeth (not the brackets) which in turn makes the front teeth sore. I also have molar buildups so my bottom brackets don't get knocked off due to an overbite. I stil might be clenching while I sleep as well.

Has anybody ever experienced this???:huh:


I will be calling my orthodontist Monday to see what he says. I am also thinking about wearing a gaurd at night so at least the teeth won't be knocking


Thanks:flowerforyou:

in high school, when I had braces I used to clench my teeth. my orthodontist made me a bite guard to help with this. Hope yours can do something similar to help you out.

I had braces at 40 yrs old and had this issue due to the change in bite from the braces.

I had a mouth guard for a short while
