Next Step :
Make sure that you see your Orthodontist regularly once in every month.

Hi practo user,
The mobility of the tooth is due to the movement during orthodontic treatment. The space created during extraction is now getting closed and so the shaking. Nothing to worry, and it is the way the tooth respond during treatment.
Next Steps
Please do not disturb it.
Health Tips
Avoid chewing over that tooth till the pain subsides ( if any ). Maintain good hygiene.
Hope this helps sir

It is normal to have some kind of shaking feeling for tooth while ongoing ortho treatment. It's better to leave it like that and don't give any kind of external forces on the tooth or try to shake it with hands. Thank you.
