Question

Answer 1

i think it's normal cause i have the same problem but it might not  

Answer 2

This could be a any number of reasons why your tooth is lose. I am glad to see you going to the dentists.

Some reasons for lose permanent teeth can be, injury, gum disease, poor nutrition, tung thrusting, and maybe even genetics. Sometimes, when you were braces, while the teeth are being repositioned, they can become lose. Most times, the Dentist can correct the situation.

Here a tip just in case it comes out on you. Place the fallen tooth in a glass of milk or eye contact solution. It will help protect the tooth until you can reach a Dentist. Talk to your Dentists about this.

Answer 3

Maybe the root of your tooth is rotten and really short, resulting in a loose permanent tooth.  

Answer 4

me and my mom both have braces and my moms teeth are all very loose but i think its just because theyre all shifting to become straight.  i wouldnt worry too much but if it gets worse i have someone look at it.

hope this helps  

Answer 5

tell ur parents and go to a dentist

Answer 6

The point of braces are that they move the tooth into the right position, then they build up layers so that they don't move, so the a tooth being loose is okay. It's probably just being moved into the right position now. Still talk to your orthodontist, but chances are he's going to say that nothing is wrong.

Answer 7

it is perfectly normal for your teeth to be lose(doesnt matter which tooth or how many)with braces, because there is pressure against them causing them to move and the only way for them to move is to be loose.^_^♥

Answer 8

See it happens because your teeth is moving according to the expected design that may be prescribed by you to the dentist.

Even I was with braces couple of years ago. The same feel was there for me but nothing to worry. If it is that very loose as if like shaking and the shakes are visible too, then consult your dentist immediately. Hopefully not to worry.

Answer 9

that happened to me too. its just because the tooth is shifting. its okay, once it finds its place it'll go back to normal.

Answer 10

it is because the moon's gravitational pull last night was very strong. You slept on your back and the moon pulled it out!

Answer 11

It just might be weak so its wiggling i had that when i got invislign they don't fell loose anymore if you have helthy teeth then you have nothing to worry about

Answer 12

don't worry it's just because your teeth are shifting. I freaked out too because I had a 'lose' perm. tooth in front of one of my spacers but the ortho said it's just because it's moving.

good luck and look forward to that beautiful hollywood smile!
