Question about teeth becoming loose.

[VS26]

HI,guys !thank you for your responses! i have another question(i think i am getting paranoid and my treatment have not started yet!!!!!) I learned from this site that teeth can become somewhat loose while u are in braces,because they are moving into their new position,and to say honestly,that freaks me out!!! Tell me please,have anybody experiened that and how long it usually lasts???thank you.

Since I had my braces fitted, a couple of my molars tend to 'click' when I'm brushing my teeth and when I'm eating certain foods. If I gently press with a finger I can just about see the tooth moving.

However this comes and goes, and is generally at it's worst a few days after an adjustment.

Personally I wouldn't worry about it to be honest. My orthodontist told me that things like this aren't uncommon when wearing braces.

Hi VS26,

I wrote on another post that I pull my lower teeth back on my bite plane and then push them forward with my tongue and hear them click. They aren't wobbling about or anything, but I guess they must be loser at the roots, so hopefully this means they are losening up to move. Don't worry about it, it sounds normal, but if they didn't get a tiny bit loose then they wouldn't be able to move at all would they? That's my theory, until I wake up and find them all lined up on my pillow!

I've had incredibly loose teeth on the bottom. It did kind of freak me out how I could it would wiggle back and forth. This comes and goes though. I'm on a good streak now when all the teeth seem to be pretty solid.

BUT I was never worried about losing these teeth because they are very secured to the wire. The only way I think that could happen would be an accident to the mouth but we risk that even without braces.

I could wiggly my teeth with my tongue...it was sooo loose...I was worried most of the time and even after the braces were removed it was still very loose and when they were being cleaned they were still moving...and when I flossed I could see my teeth moving side to side...talk about freaky .
