Re: Is it normal for teeth to slightly shift or click?

We all have that. The teeth have a ligament between themselves and the
bone. There is going to be some give.

Hey guys,

I know that this sounds crazy......but I tend to obsess about things
when I notice them, and I've recently been noting something odd.
Sometimes I can feel my teeth shift or click very slightly...usually
after eating, or with tongue thrusting agaist lower incisiors, etc. It
is very subtle, and you can see the teeth move ....... its almost like
you can just feel a slight shift with your tongue. Now that I have
noted it, I am trying to do it all the time and it's driving me nuts!
It's not always obvious.....but I am worried that it is abnormal. My
gums appear healthy / normal, and I've mentioned it to a few friends
and some say that they have noted that before with their teeth...others
don't know what I am talking about.

It's almost time for my dental visit anyway, but any words of wisdom to
ease my concerns?

Thanks

Pat
