My two front teeth are really loose right now. So loose that when I smile, or put any pressure on those teeth whatsoever, they're constantly popping. I know this is somewhat normal, but I'm a little nervous..
I'm also concerned that the gums behind my two front teeth are receding. However, I've heard that receding gums will cause things to be really sensitive since the roots become exposed.
I think just the combination of my gums feeling weird and my teeth being loose is kinda freaking me out.. I'm going for my adjustment this Thursday and will ask my ortho, but thought you guys could maybe gimme a little insight if you've ever experienced this..
I got braces on friday and now my bottom front teeth are feeling loose already, i don't worry about it because people said this is normal, that means the teeth are starting to move

My front teeth are clicking right now too when I push with my tongue, which is strange because I don't think there has been alot of major movement lately. My bottom front tooth I just made sore by biting into an apple. I did slice it first!
Yes, it bugs me alot but alot of things bug me and worry me. This is just another weird thing about having braces. What would worry me more is alot of intolerable pain that won't go away. Then i would know something is wrong.
My front top two are really loose right now, too and make that clicking noise. It's a little disconcerting but I'm sure it's normal since I've read posts from others on this site with the same comment. I just had an adjustment last week where they put a square wire up there so I'm thinking that's why this is going on now. I also feel the weirdest sort of numbness in my top lip that I don't like at all. Sometimes, this is just such an awful process. I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end but some days it's just plain hard.

"Ever notice how instant gratification takes too long?"
my teeth are wobbly all over.
i think if it wasn't for the wires holding it in place, it might fall off while i'm chewing. at first, i was really scared so i made a trip to my ortho and he assured me that it's normal so now i don't worry as much but I still have doubt wether these wobbly teeth will become strong again.
Yes I wonder if they will be loose the whole time we wear Braces? I really cant wait till all this is over.
I want to eat again, My teeth better be the purdie-est teeth ever when this is over.

My teeth are doing the clicking thing and I actually like it! lol.
They don't feel that loose at all though...definitely not wobbly or anything like that Sometimes I wish they felt more loose because so many on here feel that...but I guess its different for everyone.

I had both archwires changed yesterday and I took the opportunity to run my tongue around my teeth before the new wires went on. Did they feel loose or what? It's a bit scary.
you know about the looseness, does it vary depending on how crocked your teeth are? i have a little crownding on my left side but the front and right side are generally ok, im soooo scared of wobbly teeth, can i expect ot have really wobbly teeth?
yeah cheers Karen, for always giving me reassuring advice, my brace day is on 3 and 10 july, i wnat to get my exams out of the way first, then i will begin tratment, i hope that the feeling isnt like the one where i had my teeth removes, they were killin glike hell i was about to cry, it felt sooo bad, but it seems to be much better today, its still a little sore!!!
yeah, my teeth go through phases where different teeth do the clicking thingy. i like it.. it's kind of an obsessive thing i guess. but even when i didn't have braces, sometimes i could make my teeth click. but i was wondering if it is bad to keep making my teeth click with my tongue. does anyone know? i just don't want to slow down my progress.
