Pain, discomfort and sensitivityQuestion during treatment

I don't have any pain at all after getting braces. Will my teeth still move?

Some patients are very lucky: to their surprise, they find that their teeth aren't sensitive after their braces are fitted. They may feel a tingling, mild discomfort or even nothing at all in their teeth. This doesn't mean the teeth won't move – these patients simply have a higher pain threshold.

This answer is for general information. Your own case needs an examination by an orthodontist.
