After orthodontics, I noticed 3 of my bottom teeth wiggle ever so slightly--Is this normal?


Question:
I had braces for 2.5 years, got them off in march of this year--I'll be 19 in two months. 3 of my bottom teeth wiggle ever so slightly, its hard to see though. When my top teeth touch my bottom teeth they do not feel sturdy as they once did. So I was wondering..Is this normal!?

Answers:
Most definately. They're just getting "repositioned". They'll eventually stabilize sooner or later once your jaw builds ------(i forgot the term) around them. As tempted as you might be try not to wiggle them intentionally (with your teeth, fingers or tongue). You should have a retainer which should keep your teeth in place.Ask your orthodontist, he should be able to help you out.

I asked my ortho yesterday. He claims it could be your teeth trying to go back to original postion (pre-orthodontics). He said you REALLY need to talk to orthodontists, and if you have a retainer then your either not wearing it properly or something wrong with reatainer. And if you dont have retainer...Get one :)
