Teeth shifting after wisdom teeth removal

[Teresa1989]

I got my wisdom teeth removed in may. Now i have noticed my teeth are shifting pretty bad like i can literally feel it almost like my front and button teeth feel loose but they don’t wiggle. But if i push my lips on them they feel weird almost like the bone is making a weird feeling. Is that normal I’m scared. I’ve been having so many dental issues since my last cleaning in may.

Good day

Our teeth move constantly throughout our lifetime. Loose teeth could be an indication of underlying periodontal disease. Do you perhaps have any x-rays of your teeth? Recent x-rays?

I got x-rays done in may and i was told that i have bone loss and receding gums. Yet a peridontist didn’t want to treat me until i get invisaligns. I was told my bones are still very strong.

 

[Dr M]

In my opinion is not a good idea to have orthodontic treatment done on if you have active periodontitis. This could worsen the situation and lead to tooth loss. I would get a second opinion.

Ok thank you. I will get a second opinion.

Get your periodontitis under control. And your wisdom teeth extractions are not related.
