Is it normal for your teeth to wiggle when your braces are tightened

This has never happened to me before, but I was at the ortho a few weeks ago and they put a chain on my braces, now, my two front teeth seem to wiggle or move sorta. Is this normal?

    Yes, they're lose so the teeth can move. They always come a bit lose, but you can't always tell.

  • Your teeth are correcting, that's how braces work :)

    Hehe!! Normal !! ;) mine did the same, it's because they are being moved, don't worry!! Wait until they come off!! They will wiggle then too!! So wear your retainer until they firm up!! Very important!! Good luck and enjoy your new beautiful smile!! ;)

    Yep. My husband and son are orthodontists. That chain will make your teeth really boogie.

    Yes, it's normal. My front teeth moved even when the standard wire was on. After a while they stop their movement. (I know mine did, at least.)

    This happens to me frequently. It's just because there's pressure in your teeth to move, which makes them slightly wiggly.

    Totally normal (: I think the chain you're talking about is a spring? It stretches your jaw so your teeth fit in! They hurt when you rub your tongue along them!
