    Sad They put a TP Bar in my mouth!! Help!!

    For anyone who has had braces:

    Today the orthodontist put a TP (trans-palatal, sp?) bar in my mouth. It's a wire that 's shaped like the roof of your mouth that they use to correct minor cross bites. Anyway, it hurts like a bitch and I can't eat and I keep scraping my tongue on it. Waah!!

    Suggestions?

    Oooo I think I know what you mean. I had a bar put in the roof of my mouth that I had to adjust every day and it spread my bite some. It will cause you to have a opening in between your front teeth, then they do the braces to move everything around. I just had my braces taken off last month after 5 years of orthodonic hell.

    Your best bet is to take advil as much as you can to help the pain, I ended up with migraines from mine for the first bit. Eat soup(hey if you wanted to lose 5 pounds this will help it lol). Icecream helps numb the pain as well. It will take almost a month for the pain to subside so its tollerable. Good luck. I feel your pain I really do..

    Thanks, Cally! You're such a sweetie pie. That's exactly what I'm talking about. It REALLY hurts.

    Did you need pain reliever every day?

    Just when you cant tollerate it. I honestly lived off extra strength advil for the first month. I didnt take it every day but close enough. Also if it gets too bad your ortho can write you a Rx for something stronger.

    How long did you have it on? For the remainder of your braces?

    I had it for three months I think... god it was so long ago. They take it out when they put your braces in. Just DO NOT miss an apt because it will slow the progress.

    Hmm.. they wont leave it in the entire time dont worry... they're just doing it a bit diff then my ortho did. Are they trying to fracture the bone in the roof of your mouth to spread things?

    No, the original plan was to close the small spaces and leave the cross bite since it was hardly noticeable. But with the braces the cross bite started to correct itself, so they said "Hey! Let's put a TP bar on it and make it perfect since it's already gotten started!!

    Aw, balls.

    Aww well even if they keep it in the pain will be gone and your speach will go back to normal. The only shitty thing is once you can start to eat again food gets stuck between it and the roof of your mouth As if the braces went bad enough for that

    You'll get used to it within a couple weeks. I've SO MUCH GODDAMN ORTHODONTURE! Just don't clench your jaw, don't chew anything, and derive all sustenance from Ibuprofen.

    You'll eventually adjust! Hehe has your mouth been extra saliva-y? Also when you start to eat and get food stuck in it, you'll try to push it out with your tongue but your tongue will get sore, and even that will get worked out and adjust. My tongue is like steel by now.
