Biting

---

When I'm eating I often bite the insides of my cheek or lip. Sometimes it's really painful. Does anyone else do this? Just wondering again.

It happens and I hate it. Then your cheek is swollen and it makes it more prone to get rebitten. Ughhh

I havent lately, but now that im thinking about it I will...like sdp said, the real killer is when it gets swollen and you bite it more.

U wouldnt beleive how many cuts and biting marks i have in my side gummy flesh place. I think the fact of having bracers has a large affect on the outcome of bitting gums.

And then I hate when your tongue just keeps on poking that spot where you bit yourself. Drives me crazy.

Could it be an crossbite that is causing the problem possibly?

I do that allll the time, it sucks. kjoman brought up a good point though I didn't do it half as much before I had braces. I got my braces off for years ago though so... just me probably.

It could be. I noticed when my wisdom teeth were coming in, I would bite myself all the time. I chew kind of fast and that could be the problem.

i have braces and i accidently bite myself quite a bit. its not as bad as it was. but yeah.hopefully it wont be bad at all when i get them off.

Your wisdom teeth? For me it's usually my canine teeth or occasionally my incisors or premolars that bite my cheeks. I've got this spot currently where my lower canine bite into a spot on my cheek and it's been bugging me. Just happens sometimes when I'm eating quickly.

yes i hate that too!! but im lucky it has been the longest time since i have done that im so happy it hasnt happened to me yet

it doesn't happened to me that often,but it has been happening to me more often since i got braces.

i do it. its anoying! not when im eating usually tho.the cuts and stuff arnt that bad. the worst ive had in my mouth is from when i had braces ( ahh, those were the days) that really hurt!

Sometimes I get so scared of biting myself I puff out my cheeks while chewing..JUST IN CASE! :sunglasses:
