Teeth
I have a permanent tooth that is mildly loose. I can wiggle it side to side a little. When the orthodonist was moving the tooth into place, it was running into another tooth. I think the gum roots were getting damaged or something. Do you think over time the tooth won't be as loose and won't wiggle as much?

nerves and your roots tighten up over time. they can loosen over time too. if it starts to get infected or hurt or bleed you need to tell your dentist. dont play with ti too much and it might go back to normal.

I think it's going to be loose like that forever. I don't see how it could stop being loose unless that's what your dentist told you. I think you should contact your orthodontist, he'll most likely know what to do.

it could not be a permanent tooth, or maybe you did somethign to it. honeslty, no one can telly ou, the bes tthing todo is to call your dentist or "braces doctor" if you have one. and find out what you should do before freaking out (:

If you are seeing an orthodontist I assume you either have braces or are preparing for them.
I had the same thing when I had braces. I had to have a palatal expander which stretches your upper palate making your mouth wider. This caused my 2 front teeth to separate by, gosh, probably a 1/2 a centimeter. This doesn't sound like much but imagine a 1/2 centimeter space between 2 teeth!!! Anyway, when the expancer came off, the braces went on. He put a "chain" across my 4 front teeth to bring them together and the space was completely gone in a matter of seconds! My teeth were a bit wobbly for a long while. Now, I admit it has been 15 years since I got my braces off so I have no idea how long it took for them to tighten back up. But definitely, unless there is something else going on, your teeth should tighten back up once they are finished being pushed and shoved around. If it is a real concern, certainly ask your orthodontist, but it is probably nothing to be too concerned about yet.
