Is it normal for teeth to feel loose when wearing braces?

Q. ever since ive had braces my teeth started to become a little loose. is this normal. my teeth arent very loose but whenevr i bite down my teeth move fowards,
A. During treatment the teeth can feel loose as they have some pressure on them. This settles once the treatment has finished. I would suggest you see your orthodontist as if you are having treatment teeth moving when you bite may be affecting the treatment
