OMG I totally get it! Some of my teeth especially the molars are moving up and down and side to side! It feels so sore and so loose and I feel like they're gonna fall out of my mouth hahahahhaa

Thank you all! I thought all my teeth are gonna fall out hahahaha whew what a relief! Thanks!!!

I think you need to have a talk with your ortho...that treatmenrt has taken wayyy too long, and as you said your teeth is not crazy bad anyways. Please talk to him and let him know what you are feeling because this has gone on long enough. It's time to see your beautiful teeth...

So I've been wearing braces for about 2 months now. My teeth have been moving around some. But I have noticed that one of my pre-molars feel very "spongy". Whenever I bite into it, it feels very swollen and like the tooth is actually moving! So I looked in the mirror and tried to press on ...

Hi, Pinaypie! I just joined the Metal Mouth Forum a few days ago...I'm 40 and got my braces on about 3 weeks ago. I had a couple of bicuspid extractions on top and I'm sporting a mouth full of metal (ceramics are apparently not for me...bummer!). The molar build-ups are the worst part so far...alth...

THANKS!!!

I hope things would get better for you...and I hope you'll find a solution to your problem. Just ride it out and hang in there! GOODLUCK!

Nice! 19 weeks and that's already a lot of improvement. My daughter have her braces on for about 5 months now and her teeth are almost straight. I hope my journey will be as successful as yours...

Wow. I'll try to do this, too! Thanks

[quote="AM21"]Since getting braces, what one favorite sugary drink or food are you trying to give up? I've been trying to give up chocolate. I'm having the hardest time with that. I'll deny myself chocolate for a few days and then I have a major sweet tooth and just have to have it. I brus...

I'm also newly braced like you-- and it hurts like heck! :(
