I have a tooth that is one that sticks out on the bottom, and it is painful to the touch and feels loose....could it be moving??? What is so strange is that I haven't had my first adjustment yet and this tooth was fine 5 days ago, and it just arbitrarily sstarted to hurt and now I can't even eat solid food again! Does this happen or did I do something wrong??

Hi there - this is perfectly normal. I find that sometimes my teeth will start to ache a couple of days before an adjustment is due, even if they didn't straight after the last adjustment!

can my bite have changed so that nowmy back right molars touch, but not my back left molars, and it was just the other way around the other day?

Yes, I had that happen (I had traditional adult braces last year at age 53); it didn't last more than probably a week, and then things shifted again. It's part of the process, but you can always call your orthodontist to ask and/or visit.
