nothing to worry about. it means that your teeth are loosening up in order to move. it happens to me all the time.

Mine does it all the time, too. Most if the time I think it's my teeth shifting when I bite or clench, and the lacebacks and wire ties are hitting each other and the brackets.

I get that clicky feeling too. It's really unnerving sometimes, especially when it happens to my front teeth. In fact, one night I had a dream that I had the click in my front teeth, and that they fell out because of it! Scary. That wasn't fun to wake up from, I immediately had to reassure myself that my teeth were there!

But anyway, my ortho reassured me it's normal, happens to a lot of people with braces on.

Talk about scary...I keep having nightmares about a surgery I'm not due to have for almost a year and a half or two!!!

I've never had any kind of surgery...only stitches...

I dont have the click anymore. Now that my lowers are in line finally. I did like to push them a little to hear it click just to gross other people out ha ha. Oh well.

My teeth click a lot when I apply pressure by pulling my lips inwards or pushing them with my tongue. I find myself doing this sometimes without thinking in the evening if I'm watching TV. A bit like a kid messes about with a wobbly tooth.

I sometime wonder if this messing about is bad as I am applying pressure? I'm presuming that because I don't do this 24/7 that any effects would be minimal?
