Metal Mouth Message Board

Ok, so my teeth feel loose. Yes, I know it's normal. What I'm wondering is shouldn't they be looser shortly after an adjustment? I've had my braces just over a month and the teeth are feeling looser than ever. Especially when I wake up in the morning. Perhaps I'm grinding my teeth at night?

All I can say is that it's really odd to push your tounge against your teeth and feel the presure on the other side. Or close your mouth and move your jaw from side to side and feel all your up teeth sway back and forth.

Should I be feeling this, just two weeks from my first adjustment?

Thanks

Funny you should mention that. My teeth always feel the loosest in the morning after I wake up. I think that during the day, you have so much stuff going on that you don't notice it as much. Also, mine feel loose weeks after an adjustment. I'm quite sure it's fine.

Okay when ya'll say "loosening"...can you actually see the tooth moving if you touch it or is it just a feeling?

Yeah mine are doing that now and I've had them a little over a week. Mainly on the left side my upper back teeth. It's sometimes irritating because I always want to clamp down and feel that pressure snap (like when you were a kid and used to wiggle your teeth..) I keep telling myself to stop thrusting my tongue on it but its such an odd/cool feeling. ..

My First adjustment is in 9 weeks..I hope they dont get any looser
