How long after removing braces do teeth stop feeling wobbly?

Also, what can I do to help the teeth during this period? Are there any foods that I can eat to help the teeth stabilize faster?

After about 6 weeks.
A day or two.
Braces place your teeth in the proper position and your retainers hold your teeth in place while your bone becomes more dense. Eating a healthy diet, flossing correctly and brushing correctly and wearing your RETAINERS as your dentist suggests will help you.
Time heals everything...every patient is different. There are no foods that will increase the healing time. If you have questions, visit your American Dental Association dentist.
