What if you have a loose tooth with braces?





I have had braces for almost a year now. And my right side has been hurting when I chew. It stops hurting sometimes. But when i push on my 2nd to last molar it kind of hurts and it moves a tiny bit. It's the tooth that my last bracket is attached to on the bottom. Is it really bad of it's loose? Will it be okay if I just don't play with it? Ughh help? PS: I don't think I lost all my teeth before getting braces. And I know teeth get loose from braces, but this has never been loose before and it doesn't feel like my teeth normally feel when they are shifting.

If your orthodontist appointment isn't coming up in the next few days I would advise giving them a call. Until they can determine what is going on I would be cautious to eat gently on that side, no gum chewing, hard candies, etc. My guess is that it is not a baby tooth, but a permanent one and that the bracket or wire might be bent. This happened to me, my mouth was so sore on one side one night and then the next day the bracket broke off and the pain relief was instantaneous. There is probably not going to be any lasting trauma to the tooth, as you said they are moving while in braces. Hope that helps!
