A member asked:

Bottom lip pierced. and is it normal to feel that all of your teeth are loose when you have braces?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it is: Normal to feel like your teeth are loose. They are being moved in a controlled sequence. Lip and tongue piercings can lead to gum disease and other dental problems. Hope this helps.
