A member asked:
Braces: could my teeth be moving too fast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Physiology: Your body sets limits on how fast teeth move. Moving the crowns of teeth through air proceeds faster than moving roots through bone. Orthodontic specialists are trained to monitor the rapidity and direction of tooth movement. Ask a pro for an evaluation.
