For ppl who have braces, can u help me?

Question

I've had braces for 6months now&my teeth feel a tiny bit loose. I was wondering if that's normal? Or if it's because my teeth are movig/straightening out????????Can u help please?

Answer 1

It's normal to feel a little bit loose.  The reason is that braces are pushing and pulling on your teeth and as they have the forces placed on them they break down and gradually build up the bone that holds the teeth in place.  No need to worry.  You will build up new jaw bone and they will stiffen up.  ~Stephanie, Registered Dental Hygienist.

Answer 2

its completely normal. dont worry, it means they are getting straight. just dont like. try pulling them out

Answer 3

I have braces and sometime I can feel my teeth moving if I push my tounge against them, but they have been moving pretty well and teeth can't just move while staying firm in one place! They gotta get lose and move to where they're supposed to be :)

Answer 4

You are right. The braces apply pressure that make teeth move. The roots aren't ever completely rooted and if they were, the teeth wouldn't move. So yeah, thats normal.

Answer 5

Yes because when the roots move with the teeth, they become looser. Like when yo wiggle a tooth a little, it becomes loose. So don't worry, they'll go back to normal. Just don't play with them.
