2 Different: It sounds like two different issues come into play here. Your tongue thrusting habit plays the biggest role in the front teeth space. The only way to reverse this is to get braces and subsequent physical therapy to learn a new way of swallowing. Second, go have your wiggly molar checked out, it may simply be the cement holding your crown in. These two things are not interrelated imo.

Dentist: Not sure what the question is but loose teeth and shifting teeth are usually the result of gum disease. See a dentist for a diagnosis.

Periodontal disease : Mobility if the tooth is due to either loss of bone from peirodontal disease or a tooth fracture.

Not related: It would be quite unusual for a tooth in the back, to cause 5 other teeth to move and create a space in front. Something else is going on and you better see your dentist please.
