Q. I know this is supposed to happen but i feel like i need reassurance from someon in the know namely you. I began my treatment not long ago and obvisouly ahve some relatively loose teeth but then there is one tooth that is in a much looser condition than the others. It wiggles when I push against it and i am getting a tad worried. I\’m not going to overreact as i dont think its about to fall out but i am still abit concerned. i cant help it. can you tell me if i should just get on with it.,
A. Hello, It is normal to feel the teeth loose during orthodontic treatment. You might want to mention it to your dentist who could monitor the mobility and gum pockets around the tooth all along the treatment. In the mean time do not attempt to grab your tooth with fingers and try out how mobile it is. In your final stage of your treatment the teeth should become more stable.
