Anyone else experiencing a "click" or "cracking" sound when you use your tongue to push on your teeth? Its not all the time, just very now and then, when i use my tongue to push on my teeth, i would hear the "click" sound. Sometimes when i bite down, the teeth with the molar build up would make the same "click" sound. I hope it's not because I am crazy and hearing things...

Perfectly normal. I've been experiencing it on and off since around week 2.

I too have that! I amuse myself by pushing on my teeth to hear and feel it happening....

Thank you!! So.. I am NOT crazy!!

I get that too, kind of sounds like when you grind your teeth. I was getting freaked out thinking my teeth had all just loosened. So i guess this is normal?

Yea... mine actually reminded me of when I was little and a tooth would just be starting to loosen. I can remember a specific crackling sound and had a mini freak out when I heard it a couple months ago.

Totally normal though. It comes and goes with different teeth

It seems to be normal as a few people have mentioned that on this site. Mine started clicking today and it's so much fun to play with!

I really started to hear this yesterday and am really hearing it quite frequently today. I love it. It's confirmation that there's some movin and shakin going on in my mouth and that these braces are doing their job!

3 months in....and I have never had any of this......not sure if I should consider myself lucky..or left out !

You will definitely know when you feel it/hear it

Holy cow! You sure have more adjustments then my Ortho does ... I am kinda jealous! We only get apts every 8 weeks at this point. I still have 14 days till my 2nd adjustment!! I had to go in today to have the accursed molar build ups looked at, and was told that I prob will NOT be able to move into a square wire on the bottom yet due to the lower lateral tooth that will just NOT MOVE!! . I will be able to move up to the next round wire... but I am anxiously waiting for the recursive wire on the bottom to help my deep curve of spee!!!
How has the braces been going for you? I can't ever seem to find your thread listing to check on your progress. I only ever find you thru comments you make on other peoples threads. Do you have one that you started?

I've only had mine on a little over a week and my bottom teeth click pretty regularly, maybe because of more crowding? Not sure but its definitely strange! I thought I was just imagining things!

I hear it all the time when I push my teeth forward or close my mouth really tight. I think I like the noise too because I feel like the teeth are moving, thought sometimes I'm afraid I'm going to crack one of my ceramic brackets.

One of my incisors popped up a bit and I find myself pushing down on it constantly. Not sure if that's a bad habit or not yet!
