It could be...: ... it really depends on what movements are trying to be accomplished by your orthodontists. Teeth are not moved bodily thru the bone bone, but sometimes are tipped and then rotated into place. Ask your orthodontist to explain anything that you have concerns about.

It is normal: After the fist stage is resolved and the teeth are aligned, the next step is to level the arches. Be patient and if concerned ask your orthodontist for more information. Good luck.

Ask Orthodontist: Sometimes teeth have to be tipped and then uprighted to achieve optimum position. Not being able to examine you I can only suggest that your ask your specialist Orthodontist for an understanding of the mechanics required to treat your particular case. Malocclusions are like snowflakes, no two are alike. That's why Orthodontists individualize each patient's treatment.
