Hey thanks for asking. I will be seeing him on Saturday. That will be his next time at the office.

i have one front tooth that is now shorter that the other one as well, I just hope that before removing my braces the ortho will fix this! It does not really bother me right now, since given the amount of metal in my mouth I don't think anyone but me will notice it... I just consider it to be one o...

Wow I'm sorry to hear about this uncdl....I hope these issues can be fixed before treatment is up. I dread the thought of having my teeth shaved just to make them even.

For the past few months my right upper front tooth has been feeling loose. It doesnt so much move but clicks all the time and just doesnt feel as secure as the others....Well as secure as braces would allow. Yesterday was my monthly visit to the ortho. I discussed my issue with him and and he empath...

Is it normal for your front tooth to feel loose starting 9 months post braces and be loose for going on two weeks? It feels weird when I run my tongue over it, like it is not a part of my mouth like the rest of my teeth. Also there is a faint click sound every time my lip or tongue moves over it. I'...

I can relate to your concerns, and I can tell you that in my case it's all turning out fine. Some time after I first got braces, my teeth started moving and messing up my bite. There was a time when my teeth would only meet at one tiny point in my whole mouth - I couldn't chew anything! I was worri...

Your two dental arches are like two halves of a system. If you go moving the teeth in one arch around, you need to make sure the teeth in the other arch are positioned correctly to work with them. They'll work better that way, and teh results are more likely to be more stable. Thanks, I guess that'...

I got my bottom braces on about 4 months after the tops (one month ago). Since that time, my bite has been more off than ever. When I close my mouth, my bicuspids don't meet properly. They feel closer to my tongue on both sides...just weird I tell you..Do things really have to get THIS out of whack ...

I had a glimpse of how it will feel when I had a bracket repositioned during my second visit. I actually dug my nails into the arm of the chair. My teeth are very sensitive. I remember when I had root canal therapy, I wanted to do just what that smiley did...

I'm glad I saw your note. I came here to post a similar question. I got braced in April mainly because I had terribly jammed teeth, with an overbite and very crooked front tooth. I had 4 extractions...now I am starting to notice all sorts of terrible things including that my teeth haven't worn even...

I've noticed some weird things happening to my teeth too. I thought I was prepared for these changes (I read lots of posts where people say it gets worse before it gets better) but I am realizing that I am not prepared at all. I can't stop looking at the mess...my overbite is way worse (by the way,...

Thank you all so much.

YRhino, I dont think I'm doing anything with my tongue...but I will pay more attention to it and see.

I will try and relax now. But I think I'm gonna call on Saturday with my concerns.

I've been braced for a month and a half. I already started with a front gap that I hated and it's actually my reason for getting braces in the first place. NOW, my gap is bigger and my teeth seem to be moving every which way but together. On my last visit, my ortho tells me that everything is fine. ...

well I got my braces about 6 weeks ago . and my front teeth are not actually sore .. just uncomfortable if i try to bit hard or chewy things. more feeling like I will damage something if I persist ??? someome "more experienced" will I am sure happen along soon :wink: This is me as well. B...

Aww thanks ladies. I'm feeling a little better now. It's just that one of the main reasons I got braced was because of this ugly front gap, so when I notice getting bigger I started freaking.

I will hold tight though. It's just a matter of time and it will be gone *nervous laughter*
