Did braces or invisalign cause you to have sensitive teeth?

[fuzzybabybunny]

After about three months of wearing invisalign I've noticed that my teeth have started to become sensitive to the cold, something that's never been a problem before. When I drink a cup of cold milk, for example, my bottom right molars get achey.

Anyone else have this problem?

Yes, I had traditional braces and have it. It's very annoying. You can look into a gum graft or alternatively, there is some kind of coating they can apply to the base of the tooth that insulates the roots.

Edit:
It happens because when your teeth move the gum doesn't move with them as well.

QFT.

I had braces for fives years and one month. After that long of a time, my gums have receded quite a bit. I've been using Sensodyne toothpaste for years and it does help reduce the sensitivity to cold and hot.
