Don't be worried it's quite normal actually! It's a good thing because that means your teeth are moving! It's a odd feeling I know but it's a good thing! Good Luck! :D

no i definitely wouldn't be worried, at the beginning of treatment many of my teeth felt loose it's just because they're moving. even now a tooth here an there will feel loose because of the elastics.

I know it's easier said than done. Everyone here has had loose teeth at one time. It's pretty normal for your teeth to be loose after 2 months.
You might start feeling/hearing a clicking sound when you bite down. It's actually not your tooth ,it's the archwire.

Yeah ,it felt wierd the first time my wire was removed so I could to to my dentist for a routine cleaning. My teeth felt soooo strange when I would bite down. Like if they were numb lol. I've had a few of those dreams where your teeth are so loose that they fall out. I have to laugh when I wake up because I start touching all my teeth :)

The whole process is simple ,yet amazing .
