I dont remember if I told you all but my ortho did not brace my last molars on the top or the wisdom teeth on the bottom. Well the top teeth havve moved back to the back of my mouth where the wisdom teeth were and they arent even in the brackets/wire.
The force on your other teeth probably pushed your molars backwards. It might be more crown movement (tipping) than root movement though, so don't be surprised if you get those molars bracketed up at some point.
I had my seventh adjustment on Monday and my ortho put brackets on the back bottom molars. Using lots and lots of wax! Two less places to just slide floss through. One of the things I've learned from this site is no two treatments are the same!
