What happens if a tooth falls out while you have braces?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Depends: Most likely nothing as the orthodontist will make the necessary adjustments. Having said that sound teeth should not fall out.

Braces: I would see your orthodontist. I sounds like it may be a baby tooth that was ready to normally fall out.

Depends: If the tooth is a baby tooth, odds are that's a good thing. If a permanent tooth simply "falls" out that is not so good. Best answer: ask your licensed orthodontic specialist if it's good or bad depending on your particular tooth.

I have crowded teeth and they have some mobility. My orthodontist has said it is caused by pressure from crowding but with my regular brushing, it will not ever fall out. Should my teeth soon enough tighten a bit after I get braces and an expander?
