Braces corrected my teeth when I was younger but I feel like my teeth are moving out of place again, what should I do?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010
Q.

Hi Andrew,  I´m 24 and when I was younger (14 or so) I wore braces to correct my two top front teeth because they were really crooked. The braces have resulted in me having perfectly straight teeth, but ever since then, every so often, my teeth feel like they are moving, a slight click. A couple more years have passed and I admit I´ve been through emotional strain, but the teeth feel different in my mouth, like they have moved, and sometimes it feels like I can feel my heartbeat vibrate in them. They don’t feel wobbly as such, but I´m paranoid about losing one. What shall I do, what is causing all of this?

Thankyou

Q.

Hi, 2 days ago my 3 year old daughter fell down while playing and one of her front central teeth (upper jaw ) detached totally with its root. we went to a nearest dentist soon.He told us that a children dentist will fix it with her original tooth which we are still keeping or a natural looking tooth filling crown.
