Hello orthodontists, i got my braces on a month ago and got my wire replaced a week ago and i noticed that i can move my wire from left to right, the wire isnt on all of the brackets since im getting teeth removed, should i get it checked/fixed?

So you have a specialist that you are trusting to provide you with leading edge care, but you are contacting us to provide an answer sight unseen. Counterproductive. Ate this point in treatment your Orthodontist wants teeth to slide along the wires. By all means call your Orthodontists office and report your concerns. You are paying for that service.

As the wire guides your teeth into their new positions there is less friction between the brackets and the wire. This will allow the wire to slide a bit. It wouldn't hurt to have your orthodontist take a look.

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?
