Hello mam..it’s quite normal for ur teeth to be very slightly mobile during fixed braces treatment. It’s a process of which the tooth movement occurs.
U don’t have to worry unless u have an exaggerated mobility of teeth

Visit ur dentist every month for check up of ur braces without fail

Hi..
yes it is normal because we are applying force to move the teeth in to a new correct position, the surrounded bone and ligaments attachment gets loose to allow the teeth to move.
