Question:
I have noticed this weird movement a couple of days ago when I looked into the mirror and bit down to brush my teeth. My left central and lateral incisors of the upper arch move up toward the gums whenever I bite. Also, applying pressure with just my finger moves them up. Is this normal? I've had braces for only a month, and I don't really know much about what really is going on in my mouth.
Answers:
Yes, it's definitely normal because the braces are working to make your teeth mobile (able to move) so they can be moved into the desired position.
Don't worry about it - it just proves that your teeth are moving, which IS the function of braces :)
And, if you are new to braces and want or need to know more about orthodontics, I'd advise you to go to this page and search for answers

I can assure you will find anything you want to know there, and more!
Good luck and all the best,
