I just got my braces on and when I bite down at night to sleep, I can feel my one top tooth hiting one of the lower bracket; some pain. It's 5 am right now and I can't seem to sleep because of this. I'm afraid if I bite down anymore, the bracket will fall off. I was wondering if there is any thing I can do to keep this from happening. Maybe there's a mouth guard I can wear to sleep. Any suggestions?

Call your ortho's office and let them know what's happening. It's possible that they may have to adjust the position of that one bracket.

Go back immediately, doc will have to ggrind down the top tooth a little it could do damage. It's not uncommon.
