Is it normal to have a loose tooth after braces?!


Question: Is it normal to have a loose tooth after braces!?
I just got my braces off abouuutt two weeks ago I think !? Very exciting :D Well anyway, recently I realized one of my tooth!.!.!.teeth!.!.!. I dont know how to phrase that!. Well anyway, one of them is loose!. Its the one on the bottom but in the front!. My bottom teeth werent that straight when I got my braces off so I told my dad they're just getting used to moving without metal and my retainers will make it fine but he's freakin out of course!. So is it normal!? Its not moving too much but it looks like its about to become really loose!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
yeah, youll probably find that for a little while!. but it shouldnt be REALLY loose, just slightly!. like if you hold it then it will rock back and forth and might hurt a little (you shouldnt do that tho, makes it worse!!!) lol

its normal, cus when you had braces your teeth were forced to move so they would straighten out, and now the braces are gone theyre just trying to move back into other spaces or something, i dunno!. which is why you gotta wear your retainer all the time for the first few months or so, so your teeth stay in the right place and dont go all squiff!.

but it is normal, tell your dad not to worry about it!. but if it gets really really loose - as in so loose its like its gonna come out go speak with your dentist and theyll be able to explain it and help you!.

and agree with the other answerer, dont bite anything really tough for a week or so, and if you have to then be really careful not to bother the teeth that are a little wobblier than others :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes its ok!. its because when your braces were on the teeth were moving!. just don't bite with your front teeth for about a week and it should be ok!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
