About The Video
Dr Jaclyn explains what patients can generally expect in the first 24 hours after braces are fitted, and why some soreness and mild tooth movement around days 2-3 are typically considered a normal part of the adjustment process. She walks through the journey stage by stage, starting with the first 24 hours when the mouth is adjusting to new pressure, through days 2-3, when mild soreness and slight tooth movement are generally considered a normal part of the process.
From there, Dr Jaclyn explains what happens during adjustment appointments in the weeks that follow, and why wires are typically upgraded over time to keep guiding teeth into place. She also touches on how, by around month 6, things tend to feel more settled as visible progress starts to show while noting that every patient's timeline can look a little different.
Dr Jaclyn provides a clear breakdown of what the braces journey actually looks like, moving beyond the common assumption that it's all discomfort from day one. She highlights that while some soreness and mild tooth movement in the first few days is generally expected, understanding the general timeline from the first 24 hours through adjustment appointments helps patients feel more prepared rather than caught off guard.
