She had braces a few years back n still will wear that metal plate u have to put once in a wile n I think she tighten it to much she thinks she might of affected some nerve, ever since she gets really bad pains that medication won t stop n her upper lip trembles she also has depression to the point that sometimes she don t care of being a life. Do you know what could she have? And how to treat this?
Hi.I think your sister-in-law is undergoing orthodontic treatment. Pain during active phase of orthodontic treatment is not abnormal. Compression forces applied for tooth movement may sometimes cause too much pain, if the patient has low pain threshold. Trembling of lips is also seen due to pain and anxiety. Visit your orthodontist, he will minimize the amount of activation force.don't worry too much, u will be alright. Wish u good health
