I just got braces, are my teeth supposed to wobble?

Yes, it is very common. What essentially happens is the wire that is attached to the brackets is moving the teeth and the teeth are not stable because the new bone is not grown in. That is why a retainer is going to be needed when you get your braces off because the bone isnt completly grown. Now, because they are new and the teeth are moving expect to be sore for about 3 or so days then you won't feel anything- use something you would use for a headache, tylenol/advil. Best of luck! I am an orthodontic itant- any questions feel free to email me sebastianochristina@yahoo.com
