Is it normal to have slight movement or wobble in your front teeth when pressure is applied? i have crowded teeth.

No: Teeth should not wiggle. That usually means bone loss. How long has it been since your last Dental check-up? Ask your General Dentist if referral to a Periodontist (gum/bone specialist is in order. If you have crooked teeth you should also be evaluated by an Orthodontist (alignment/function specialist. If you have loose teeth specialist intervention is strongly recommended.

Normal movement?: I have had patients say their teeth are loose when in fact there is slight normal movement while others do not seek treatment for very loose teeth with obvious problems. This needs to be seen and evaluated by a trained professional-namely your own dentist. Call and make that appointment so you know for sure.
