so i wobbled the front tooth and it was actually wiggable!!

In some cases this is perfectly normal with the new arrival to braces ... your teeth at the minute have become under alot of pressure. The long you have your braces, the easyer it might become. If you still have any worries about your teeth check with your local orthodontists they will be able to answer and questions you have for them
:D Good luck

yes that feeling is normal. the pressure on your teeth makes them feel as if they are going to fall out.
yes they will be sensitive to the touch and may seem like they can move with the barest of touches to your teeth. THIS IS normal.
after a week, they'll start feeling normal, and then a month later, you go in for tightening and go through the whole thing again. You can talk to your orthodontist about prescribing pain medication and a medication for gum irritation for the times you do get them tightened

Yep, braces move your teeth. In order to do this, the bone holding the teeth in breaks down slightly allows the movement and rebuilds. This is why the retainer part when the braces are removed is so important. Just be sure you are keeping the teeth really clean.

okay, yes this is normal. but its really hard to explain. the braces are trying to force your teeth into another position. so of course they are going to be wiggly for a while. just keep brushing and flossing and ull be fine. if you really think is a problem tell ur parents or the dentist. but everyone i no who has braces says that their teeth were a lil wiggly at first.
hope this helped. and please give me the 10 points for best answer. :) adios yes and if it hurts, use tylenol or some sort of pain reliever

This is a normal feeling. Do not worry about it. Your teeth are moving to form a perfect smile. It is well worth it. If you have major discomfort take a muscle relaxer. If the pain persists see your orthodontist!!!

I guess, I got mine 6 weeks ago to correct my buck teeth and my front teeth are coming out of my gum!! I can see 1mm more teeth than before, but my ortho didn't made any comments on that. He just told me to brush better ahah
