Hi, I got braces put in a week ago, and they are terrifying! :'( I've looked on loads of sites, and they ALL say loose teeth are normal, but how loose?! And today, when I was cleaning my teeth, one even started bleeding! :'( I just need reassurance, cose I'm totally new to this! Please please help! :'( Thanks

Oh man, I thought I was completey crazy too. I got braces on a few weeks ago, I just had extractions, so I have not had my 1st "adjustment" yet. A few nights ago, I was flossing my teeth, and it felt like I turned my tooth around, because all of a sudden everything was TIGHT and hurt. I am also kind of freaking out, because I never used to hit my teeth together in the front, and now I do all the time, and it hurts like hell. I keep telling myself that one of these times I am going to knock a tooth out by accident.

First day with brackets: 12/05/2011. 4 Extractions: 12/12/11. 1st Adjustment: 01/04/12. 2nd Adjustment: 2/15/12 Pulling the canine down. 3rd Adjustment 3/28/12 (canine's in the wire, and pulled into position!). 4th adjustment: 5/16/2012 (closing the gaps!)

Oh, and I have not got to the point that simply brushing my (front) teeth isn't a painful experience yet.

Lol, thanks for the help! :P Glad 2 hear I ain't the only one freaking out though! But it sounds like whats happening to us is perfectly normal, though it doesn't seem it! :/

We all feel like we're alone in this process. Especially if you're an adult (like me) without peers to talk to that have braces! Lol. My front teeth are STILL tender. I keep bumping them with my lower teeth, causing them to feel "knocked out" for a while. It sucks... I hope THIS is normal.
