Apparently the solution for Tyler Hansbrough's tooth which was loosened at the behest of a Clemson elbow is to put braces on that tooth and the surrounding ones to give the loose one time to heal. They hope to remove the braces next week if the tooth is stable.
I seem to recall braces (1) made my mouth sore for the first few days and (2) had a tendency to cut the inside of my lip. I hope that is not the case for Hansbrough.
