- Totally relate to this. Braces here too, and I started on the lowest setting for weeks.
-
Same. I tried bumping it up once and my gums were not happy... lesson learned.“It’s kind of trial and error, but I’d rather go gentle than risk making my gums sore again.”
- For me, sensitivity dropped off after the first month. Medium feels fine now, but high is just overkill—especially with brackets in the way.
- I think your gums just need time to adjust. No shame in sticking with what feels right.
- Honestly, I’d rather keep all my gum tissue than blast everything to bits. Slow and steady works.
- If you ever get a new tip or switch water temp, that can change things too. Cold water = instant regret for me.
- Just keep listening to your mouth—tech settings are great, but comfort matters more.
I once cranked mine up thinking, “Let’s get these brackets clean!”—bad idea. My gums felt like they’d run a marathon. Now I just stick to whatever doesn’t make me wince. Anyone else notice the pressure feels different depending on the tip?
