that loose tooth feeling

#1 Post by trillium »

I've had my braces for about 1 1/2 years, I had big gaps to close from extractions as well as alot of teeth that were turned, so my teeth had long distances to move, I still occassionally have that really loose clicking tooth feeling. How long does it take untill teeth firm up in place? Is it only when you have the retainer in place, or does it happen when you still have your braces in?

Hi -

This question was asked on another thread somewhere...you might want to look. Anyway, I've read that you can have that loose tooth feeling even up to a year after your braces are off.

The loose teeth feeling lasts after the braces come off? I still have that feeling and it freaks me out too.

why does somebody always say that? couldn't find it. I read often but don't post THAT much. If no one ever posted the same thing twice it would be a short forum.

I said that because there were already a lot of replies to the other similar thread and I thought you could get more information faster than waiting for people to respond to the same question again. Also - your question resembled that of a recent post. If the last person who responded to "the loose tooth feeling" had been in 2009 or something, I wouldn't have mentioned anything.
