Braces! are my teeth moving to fast...?

So i have had braces for about 8 months and they told me i needed 15 tightings in total... and so far so good besides the pain... im only geting the top done...i started out with geting tightenings every 4 weeks now its every 3 weeks to speed it up so i can get them off early... but im just wondering if it is bad that my teeth are moving so fast... the pain doesnt really go away from my teeth 100% by the next opointment... my ortho is really good and has been doing it a long time. the front of my teeth are all together and are just working on the final mollars and my bite... should i be worried at all...( i only have 4 front teeth and 4 molars, i have had my wisdom teeth out already... i only had 5 front teeth develop and the 5 tooth was pulled because it was pushed behind my bottom teeth and wanted even amounts of teeth... just to let you know if any of this is a factor)

Braces! are my teeth moving to fast...?
I would trust your orthodontist, and if you're really worried, run it by him and see what he says.





Also, when you get them off, be sure to wear your retainer regularly, or else it will hurt a lot later! =)

for 18months.


They are absolutely beautiful and straight now.


Most people i know have their braces on for at least 3 years.


I have a bottom retainer which is glued to the back of my front bottom teeth which is the one your talking about, i have to wear it for 4 months. Also i have a top retainer, it is see through, sort of like a mouth guard. i had to wear it 24 hours for 2 weeks and then just every night for 4 months.


8 months seems like a really short time.


I have never known anyone to have a retainer glued to their bottom teeth for a lifetime.


It seems really quick and teeth move quickly one the braces are of.


So just be careful.


And when you get your retainer(s) where them all the time, because your teeth will move back.
