Loose teeth

I know it is normal to have loose teeth while in treatment, that is how your teeth move into proper position. However, is it normal to have an extremely loose tooth? One that wobbles when you touch it? I cannot even chew on my right side because of that wobbly tooth, I'm afraid it will fall out! Also, it is a bit taller than it used to be, as if it is coming out of the gum! When I bite down, it goes back down into the gum. Is this normal? Thank you.

Ooh...thats sounds a bit scary. My eye tooth feels a little loose and I can hear it make a sound if I push on it. But it is not that loose. I would call my Ortho and ask about it before it gets any worse.... Just my opinion...I am new to braces myself.

I agree, that's a little bit scary...
I had one of my front teeth getting taller, and I could feel it wobbly but it was more hearing it and maybe slightly feeling it with my tongue than actually feeling it with my fingers or like you said going into the gum when you bite into something...
You should call your ortho's office and tell them your concerns...

Thanks for your responses! I will definitely contact my ortho.
