Unsettled Teeth

[cNp-21]

I am suppose to be getting my braces off in three months, but at my appointed in May my bottom teeth still feel very loose when they take the wire off for adjustments. Did anyones teeth also feel like this?

My teeth still felt rather loose when my braces came off, and I was quite worried about it since everyone else here seemed to say their teeth felt more settled near the end of treatment! My ortho agreed that they were looser than is typical, but it was simply due to the sequelae of how things needed to be addressed for my treatment. He still felt that it was appropriate for me to be debanded, but he did stress that it was particularly important for me to be compliant with full-time retainer wear for at least the first few months. My retainers still feel a bit tight going back in after being out for up to an hour for meals, but they certainly still fit, and my teeth already feel more settled. I hope that helps, and best wishes for your final three months!
