Braces- could my teeth be getting more crooked?

Hi, I have had my braces for a month (I am 36) Some teeth are straightening and I am excited to see the change.





But a couple teeth on my bottom are actually looking worse. It si normal for them to sometimes look worse before they get better? I am worried. My bottom center tooth is rising up taller than the rest and hurts if I hit it on my top teeth. It is not yet hooked into the wire.





I just hope I am progressing normally.

Braces- could my teeth be getting more crooked?
Yes, it is completely normal. (i'm 14, i have them too). My orthodontist said that you usually have to move the teeth to get them into the right position so they can settle there, which usually means ugly-looking teeth.
Reply:You should talk to the Orthodontist to be sure. However, when you get braces, your bite is also affected and they align your teeth to fix your bite, and if it was crowded it might be moving for this reason





And congrads for being an adult with braces, maybe you should post pics of your problem
Reply:Yeah, some teeth may have to be repositioned. I had a problem where I had an extra tooth that had grown in (it wasn't noticeable at all), the Dentist had to pull that tooth and let the space close. My teeth went through a variety of changes throughout the stages. Yes your teeth will be tender, but I am sure that within six months you will see a great difference, and by the time you get them off you will be like WOW!
Reply:I am 29 and have had braces on for 3wks now. My top teeth seem to be moving rather quickly and they all feel loose, my bottom tooth is doing the same thing. They are definitely more crooked than when I started.. I'm also excited with the fast progress, I've hated my teeth since I've been a teenager so I'm looking forward to this change. It's seems harder that I'm older and for the first week I was a little down about it but when I saw how fast things were moving I got excited... Good Luck,, I know what you are going through...
