What Causes Movements Of Wires After Having Braces On Teeth?
i have had braces for a few weeks and ever since they have been poking my cheeks! i just felt my wires and they can wiggle up and down a little in the back? does this mean the wire is loose? also i did not have the colored band put on my last molars near the wiggling wire.

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The wire has become loose becausr of the movement of the teeth or closure of the gap between the teeth. Nothing to be panic, consult your orthodontist and get it cut. Meanwhile you can put a piece of wax at the edge of the wire so that it will not cause damage to your cheeks till you consult your orthodontist.
I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
