Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Yes, that's the principle behind orthodontics-- To put pressure on a tooth so it can dissolve the bone in front of it and replace itself behind it when the tooth is in the right position. When they shorten your wire or put special brackets on a tooth they are exerting pressure. The wire will get longer on the back teeth and sometimes poke you. That just shows how the teeth have moved over those days. Thats why you have to go back every month to get checked.

Answer 3

please don't play with the elastics or the power chain. You teeth can drop out. Let the experts do their job.
