Need treatment: There are a lot of reason why you should not wait any longer, teeth mobility could be a sign of advanced periodontal ( gum) disease .Healthy teeth are firm, no mobility at all, you need to see a dental specialist in gum disease to determine if this can be treated and why you are having this problem.

See a dentist: Possibly from "traumatic" occlusion --where your teeth do not "meet" correctly and you are then placing too much pressure on particular teeth, leading to mobility -- a dentist may be able to adjust the teeth to meet more precisely. --or- you may have periodontal disease (gum & bone recession) leading to loss of support for your teeth. You dentist can determine the problem & correct treatment.

I know that rubber bands are used to perfect the bite in the teeth,I was wondering that when braces are removed, is it normal for the bite to not look as tight after a few weeks? Because now theres no more force of the bands, so the bite loosens up?
