Hi All,
They last few days I've noticed that my top central incisors are moving a bit. Before I got my braces my two central incisors were lined up with each other. Now, however, it seems that one is sort of behind the other. In the past, when I felt the back of the front of my teeth with my tongue, I never felt a difference between the two teeth. Now, I can feel that one has moved either back or forward. I apologize if this is hard to understand, it's really hard to put it in words.

I guess what I'm wondering is, is it normal for teeth that were originally lined up to start to pull ahead/behind the adjacent tooth while wearing braces?

I'm only just over a month into treatment, so this is all new to me. Any information, would be appreciated

Yes, it's perfectly normal for ALL of your teeth to move around. That's how they'll get straightened out. Until you get braced, you'll be in a "worse before it gets better" situation. Frustrating, I know, but just think how awesome they'll look at the end!!

Thanks Cathy. I was thinking that, but I thought I'd ask anyway

Hey, you "borrowed" my avatar!! I just noticed that! LOL!

lol. Yeah, I was trying to find something related to braces that was cute on google and that's what I found . Guess we had the same thought
