I just got my upper braces on this morning. I've got a spring between my canine and front incisor. While cleaning the braces after dinner I noticed that the spring can slide along the archwire between the brackets. My question is, is this normal or should the spring be stuck to one side? I'll probably ring my ortho in the morning anyway just to be on the safe side!
