Hello guy's,
I need an advice, if anyone, anyone can help just a little, that would be great :)
I have been on extraction 6.months ago, of my 17th tooth (7th on left bottom side) and it went horribly wrong.
Long story short is, that during removal, my trigeminal nerve got a bit damaged and removal was so bad that after there was an infection and dry socket. Drilling 4.times to clean it up and it got healed.Also there were a jaw disk displacement during removal of tooth and it end up on wearing braces. I've finally got after long search great orthodontist. He made braces, but it couldn't be attached into any teeth on that side because of huge pain, so he made it half attached on right side lower jaw up to tooth 12(2nd on left side).
Now I just want to get a little help.. :)
I am still having a pain on that left side, on last tooth where braces are attached (2nd on left side) and also from tooth 14 (4th on left side - where I have had two weeks ago a root canal done) after 3.weeks of wearing braces.
What can cause the pain and also like aching feel on them and on the healed "hole" where the extraction was done?
Is it from braces, that they are moving teeth or from the wound or you think from damaged nerve or all together?
Any help, or opinion would be amazing. I know it is complex, and hat's why I am trying this forum guy's.
Huge thank you!

Good day,

It sounds like you have a very complex case and it is difficult to give an exact opinion without any related x-rays or scans.
After nerve damage it is possible that you might be suffering from neuralgia, depending on how bad the damage was and this can continue for years. Usually an oral surgeon would prescribe some medication you can take to alleviate this.
It is also very important to note that in the beginning phase of orthodontic treatment, the teeth are sometimes a bit painful, due to the forces exerted on them as well as the movement they are undergoing.
This usually clears up at a later stage.
My advice would be to monitor this pain and maybe mention this to the specialist, which will advise you if any further investigations are needed.

Hello, thank you very much for your reply. I thought so as well. But I am not sure anymore.
Do you guys think that tooth 4.weeks after root canal can be still sensitive to pain from braces as well? Also with the healing wound? Is it possible that braces are moving soft tissue (gums) and it is painful?
Thank you so so much for all answers.

Good day

Teeth are moved through a process of inflammation. Usually during the first few weeks of orthodontic treatment you can have various teeth that are painful, including the soft tissue.
It is completely possible that the pain is from the orthodontic treatment.
