Hi! I have to get 4 bicuspids removed in order to for there to be space for my teeth to move, since I will be getting braces. I would like to know how long does it take for all 4 gaps to heal and for the swelling to go down?
thats basically what I had to get done (but I dont know if they were bicuspids or not) I didnt really have any swelling except for my face being puffy from the novacain, and that only lasted that day, it only takes a few days for the holes where the teeth were removed to heal, but it takes a hell of a lot longer for the spaces to close (I've had mine for months and it seems like they never even move)
Are you speaking of wisdom teeth?
In any case swelling and pain when teeth has been removed depends on person to person. My brother had 8 teeth removed the other day and barely had any pain and swelling, when I had four teeth removed I looked like the oros man.
In any case, it should take about a week for you to be fully healed and the swelling should go down by the third or fourth day.
