About 3 months ago my bite suddenly changed, it was perfect before and suddenly my teeth on the right side didn't touch and the left side was just uncomfortable. It happened about a week and a half after a small filling on a back tooth on the left. (It was my first filling) The dentist checked my bite on this tooth many times and said it was fine. I just don't know how this happened.... I'm getting braces in about 7 months, will this do anything? I'm only 16 to btw... (Right side of teeth first)

Answer: My teeth suddenly don't touch on the right side, what can I do?
I can not recommend to do self dentistry, because mostly likely there will be some residue left even if you will manage to remove actual braces. That residue can and will create a rough surface, which in turn can create cavities. Find a local dentist, who can remove them safely.
First, there can be a huge difference in different people's pain threshold. You are older now and your pain threshold may be different now than it was when you were younger.Second, since this is your second time, chances are your teeth are not as bad as they were the first...
