yes because they're moving and so they loosen from the gums

Yes, it's fine. You will feel that for a day or two after each appointment. It happens because your teeth actually are wiggling around, and being pushed by the braces.

Totally normal. Your teeth are moving, that's why you feel that they are wiggly. I know it sucks now, have been there, but when you are done it is worth it. You will be happy when you have perfect teeth!

Absolutly. The braces shift your teeth to the correct position.

Yes, they are shifting. That's the point of the braces, to shift your teeth into the proper position. If you think there's more to it than that, then talk to your orthodontist.

Yes, your teeth are moving. That what braces do, move your teeth.

yes. all the pressure and and force they were appying to your teeth to get them on. this can cause temporary momement. That is just your periodontal ligaments beeing streached a little bit. Dont worry they will tighten back up.

Well, from what I hear that is a bit normal, but I would ask the dentist, because he/she would know for certain, okay?
good luck
