I was wondering, is it normal for the wire on ceramic braces to be somewhat loose? I've had mine for a month and noticed today that I can touch the wire and it moves just a little.

^ and if you have just started with braces and your wire is a thin, flexible one, then that will be why. When I first got coil springs at the start of treatment I could move them a little bit
So long as your wire isn't actually loose from your brace, that will just be it
