It could be the effect of the spacers. Don't worry about it.

But if you want to put your mind at rest, ask your ortho when next you go in.

Hi braces_2come!

I have had my spacers in for just over a day :soremouth: and I have found that my bite is different as my top teeth come down on the spacers instead of the teeth. So I wouldn't worry about any changes you've seen, remember that the spacers are putting pressure on your teeth and your teeth are supposed to move during this time.

They're fun aren't they? :-(*

ive had my braces on for 9 months and this has happened to me a few times. i figured it means they are moving because one week they feel like they sit right on eachother, but the next they dont. also remember that your teeth may look like they are straightening fine in the begining then all of a sudden u see a huge gap somewhere else. that is normal. this happened to my front two bottom teeth and i was like WTF lol..they eventually started closing. we think its weird because all we see are the front of the teeth, but remember its how they look all around...not just what we see in the mirror. ive noticed this more since i got my elastics on because when i take them off thats when they feel in place...but when i put them back on it feels weird so that means that my bite is in completely correct.
