It can: The crowding may be causing your bite to be off by a bit, and that can also be the cause. Crowded teeth can also lead to premature periodontitis, loss of bone, and loosening of your teeth. Consult with your dentist.

Sometimes: Crowded teeth can contribute to poor oral hygiene , trapped plaque and calculus will cause gingival inflammation and ultimately attachment and bone loss. Uneven pressure from the crowded teeth with less bone means weak anchor and increased mobility. I urge you to get a periodontal and an orthodontic evaluation as well before your condition worsen.

Answers: Crowded teeth are harder to clean with resultant bone/gum damage which makes teeth less stable. Crowded teeth don't function properly, and this can cause loosening. Crowded teeth often improperly positioned over bone support and therefore loosen. Please see an Orthodontist and a Periodontist. Loose teeth are a significant problem.
