WOULD YOU NOTICE IF SOMETHING FELT "OFF" IN YOUR MOUTH?

- Totally get that.
- Had a crown done a few months back—felt super weird for like three days, then my bite just kind of sorted itself out.
- If it’s still bugging you after a week, yeah, probably worth a call.
- But honestly, a little off feeling right after dental work seems pretty normal.
- Bodies are weird sometimes... they just need a minute to catch up.

Yeah, I totally notice when something feels off—even the tiniest thing drives me nuts. When I first got my braces, it felt like my teeth didn’t line up at all, but after a few days, my mouth just kind of adjusted. Still, if it’s not settling down after a week or so, I’d probably check in too. Bodies are weird, but sometimes you just know when something isn’t right.

Yeah, I totally get that—my mouth is super sensitive to changes. When I got my first wire change, it felt like my bite was completely off for days. I kept second-guessing if it was just part of the process or something wrong. Eventually, things settled, but those first few days were rough. Bodies really do have a weird way of adjusting, but I'm always on alert for anything that feels off.

I totally hear what you're saying, but honestly, I don't always notice right away when something's off in my mouth. Sometimes I think our brains just adapt so quickly that minor changes slip under the radar. After my last adjustment, I was convinced everything was fine until my dentist pointed out I'd been chewing differently. Guess it goes to show, not everyone feels those shifts the same way, and sometimes we only realize it when someone else mentions it. Bodies are weird, for sure, but sometimes our minds play tricks on us too.

That’s so true. I always wonder—do you think it’s possible to get used to a bad bite and not even know it? After my last crown, I didn’t notice anything off until I started getting headaches. Maybe our brains just tune out the weird stuff until it really gets our attention... anyone else had that happen?
