Loose teeth with braces on?
Oh my god LOL.. I went back to my orthodontist because one of my teeth was wobbling a few months after I got them on, I thought it would fall out!! He reassured although it wobbles, it will not fall out. The teeth wobble as they move into new positions. There is absolutely nothing to worry about. A while later my tooth settled and I finally believed him! LOL I understand how you feel, I went through exactly the same thing. I remember crying about it thinking it would fall out and it was all a waste and how ugly it would look and...... LOL It's all good!!!!
Reply:Braces usually make your teeth loose, thats what they do- they move your teeth around. It probably feels like it is wiggling a lot more than it really is.I would stop wiggling it for sure.
Reply:This feeling of the teeth being loose is normal because the bone around the teeth is constantly breaking down and then rebuilding because of the pulling and pushing forces of the braces. This bone absorbtion and reasorbtion is what allows the teeth to shift into their position. A major concern which is sometimes over looked by orthodontists is abnormal root absorbtion of the actual teeth being shifted. That means that the roots of your teeth are slowly being deterirated by the forces of the braces. To prevent this ask you dentist for regular check up x-rays to monitor your roots of your teeth..this most commonly occurs to the front teeth both top and bottom. This imposes a serious problem if it does happen because the roots of your teeth is what keeps your teeth anchored in the bone. I wouldnt worry but it is always good to know the risk of having braces so just be preventative and get regular x-rays.
Reply:It's normal to feel that way ..... and to have that problem . Buts its ok . Your gums are really really loose and that's why your teeth are a loose . But next week there not going to feel that way . If you think you should go to a dentist or orthodontist then do so . Because in ways it mite not be the way we are thinking it is ... like when we got ours on . I hope this helps
