Teeth moving after braces?
I had braces for 2 years and only wore my retainer for about 6 months, that was 10 years ago and now my teeth have moved back into their origional position (my 2 front teeth are crossed over)
the reason you are given a retainer is because with all the movement you need time fore the surroundng bone to grow into the new position, without a retainer there is nothing stopping them!
Reply:They will move. This is why you have a retainer. If your retainer no longer fits well go have your orthodontist adjust it.
Wear your retainer.
Reply:I also had braces before. I only wore my retainers for around 6 months. After 2 years, I noticed my two lower front teeth moved and now have some spaces in between. That made me visit my orthodontist for a new retainer since my old one doesn't fit anymore. My orthodontist advised me to wear it as often as I can. Well, of course you know how inconvenient it could be that's why I only wear it usually at night and whenever I'm home. I would advice you to do the same.
