Is this normal?

[damejennifer]

I feel as though my front tooth has moved forward on its own. but yet my teeth beside it still have spaces between them so those teeth did not push it. Can teeth just move on their own?

The answer to that is yes. i would be interested in finding out why. It could be from your bite, a habit that you might have or from periodontal problems(I do not know how old you are). See your dentist in the near future.

Well i have always had a overbite. wehn i look it does not look like it has moved at all but for some reason just feels further out when i bite down on my bottom lip. Im very worried and cannot afford braces at this point.  So teeth move on their own? Do i need to worry it will continue to move forward?

when the bite is off, and/or where there are periodontal issues, teeth can indeed move on their own, and they usually keep going in the direction they are going. You need to see a dentist for a proper avaluation of the issue. there is realy no other choice if you want to treat it and/or find out exactlky what the problem is. You'll need xrays, and exam, and perhaps some molds of your teeth.
