I had braces put in last week and there's this one spot between my front teeth that has cement on it. The pain is gone but I feel pressure from the spot where there's cement between my teeth. The cement is pretty hard and I can't floss this spot. Is this normal? I figured it would break off in a week or so but it hasn't. I don't know if it's going to slow the process.

No its not normal. You need to call your orthodontist to have them remove it. Its next to impossible for you to get off. I think it great you floss !! Give them a call you will feel much better.

Head back over to the dentist and have him chip the cement out with a pick and smooth it.

If it's annoying go back to your ortho...if it's not, you are probably going back in 2-3 weeks anyway, you can have it fixed then. It's not a big deal for now.
