Teeth Wiggle After Braces, Is this Normal?

Pauly in socal
My 20 year old daughter had her braces removed in May. her anterior teeth still wiggle a bit, less than 1mm. Is this normal? Also, her gums became very puffy with the braces and her dentist removed some of the puffy gum tissue. What is the normal approach to puffy gums with braces?
