Have you started your braces treatment since one month? If it is so then please wait because braces relieve your malocclusion gradually.teeth are shifted in your bone slowly to the ideal position.this change and deep bite correction needs time.your deep bite will be perfectly treated with time.

Hi...braces would help in rectifying deep bite. However root canal also recommended in some cases for complete relief

Hi
You won't find much changes in one month of treatment.....The changes will happen gradually only through ortho treatment and there will be mild discomfort during the course of treatment....The treatment period will be around 12 to 18. Months for ortho treatment and based on severity of problem the treatment period will be less or more

Hi,
I would suggest you to go for X-ray and detailed diagnosis first. Deep bite can be the cause of the problem or an addictive factor, apart from that we also need to treat the damage already happened. Since you are complaining of pain initially there also might be some teeth or gum issue, like severe wear off of tooth surface or gum impingement. So do rule out that while continuing with the ortho treatment. Also ortho treatment takes time to give appreciable results. Consult your dentist for the same.

As you have mentioned pain in front teeth - there can be gum issue or teeth related issue . You need to find out what’s the cause of pain . Deep bite adds to the problem.
Next Steps
You need to diagnose the issue correctly first . Visit a specialist
Health Tips
Keep the area clean and if teeth are sensitive use sensitive tooth paste .
