It should adhere: Are you saying you had a tooth removed for orthodontic reasons and the tooth next to the one that was extracted is loose? Are you wondering if the braces will adhere to the loose tooth? Whether a tooth is loose or not does not affect the bonding of the bracket to the tooth. What is important is the remaining bone height around the teeth. The less bone you have, not as good prognosis.

Can happen: Sometimes after extraction because of the trauma to adjacent bone and gums and if teeth are already undergoing ortho treatment can feel loose..Should feel better in a week..If doesn't than shod consult your dentist..
