Cheek Twitching and Braces

I have had braces when I was 16 years old my teeth climb back due not wearing retainer.

Now I am 24 years old and second are metal braces , I have overbite and also my bottom jaw is a bit inside more than suppose to be.

I have braces for 6 months, first 5 months making spaces even I already had gaps everything was perfect and slowly I saw a bit of improvement.

6 months problem came he decided to close the gaps he used only 1 rubber band for the whole top teeth! The pain was later on just like when I got my braces for the first time sore teeth for bite and eating.

After leaving the orthodontist clinic 3 hours after my tightening adjustment, my left cheek started to twitching.

It is only twitching If I smile , laugh , eat , chew , brushing my teeth.

It has been a month now and still didn't settle at all.

I am very scared my orthodontist said it is very unusual and I think he doesn't know what exactly went wrong

I am so scared it is maybe permanent stays or maybe my nerve or muscle will be damaged.

Will it go away during my braces treatment?
