Loose tooth with braces?!


Question: Loose tooth with braces!?
I have had my braces on for about 2 weeks now, and as of this morning I have one loose tooth that moves when I talk, swallow, when i take a breath!. The movement was very small at first but now it is dramatic!. I am 20 years old and this is one of my front four teeth!. Is it normal for the tooth to get this loose, I know some looseness is normal but this seems like the tooth is barely still attached!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes, this is totally normal!.
I have been an ortho assistant for 17 years!. (Also a patient who had extensive jaw surgery)
Your teeth have to become loose in order to move!. If it was really out of place, it is probably looser than the rest of them!. Scary, but totally normal :)
P!.S!. This is also how we gauge rubber-band wear!. If your teeth don't become loose, you are not wearing them!.
Just food for thought!.
Congrats and all the best to youWww@Answer-Health@Com

Even though it feels really loose like that, its still normal!. If it doesn't tighten up after a while then your next appointment should help it tighten!. you shouldn't really worry about it unless your tooth actually becomes loose as if you could pull it out or wiggle it a lot!. If so, consult your ortho asap!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That is NOT normal!.

I have no idea what that is!.

Is it a baby tooth!? If so, so that's why!. If it is permanent tooth, then go see your orthodontist immediately!.

Hmmmmmmmmm!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

EDIT: Okay, it is permanent tooth so that is not normal!. See your orthodontist immediately!Www@Answer-Health@Com

go to your ortho!.!Www@Answer-Health@Com
