That is how orthodontic appliances work. they put them on you they hurt like the devil sometimes but after a while everything loosens up and everything usually does not have a problem.

  • Why does my tooth hurt after a crown?

    This is not an unusual problem. when you get a crown but tooth has been ground down and you have lost some of the structure. When that crown is placed on your tooth it is done so with an adhesive and hopefully after certain amount of time usually about three to four months and over that time it starts getting lesser and lesser pain. If it gets extremely painful then you may have to have root canal done to that restoration. It's not fun to have root canal but in situations where teeth do not recover well then you need to have the root canal done and after that is done everything should quiet down. READ MORE

Implants are relatively expensive and if you can't afford to them at this time you would be happy enough to have the tooth extracted and when you can get an implant have it placed in your mouth.
