What should I do if my teeth become loose after orthodontic treatment?
After orthodontic treatment, teeth may become loose due to the fact that they have not yet stabilized following movement. During this time, you should avoid eating overly hard foods to prevent worsening of the looseness. At the same time, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing regularly and using dental floss to prevent oral infections. If the looseness persists or worsens, seek prompt medical attention and consult a professional dentist. The dentist may recommend wearing a retainer or other treatments to consolidate the orthodontic results.
