What to do: Ask your own Orthodontist to take a look at it and make sure everything if fine, which it probably is.

Orthodontics: During treatment, teeth loosen up a bit as they move through the bone, so the feeling is normal. Since you are concerned, it would be best to have your orthodontist take a look.

It's normal: It's normal for teeth to be loose during orthodontics. If it would begin to hurt or inhibit chewing have your orthodontist take a look.
