Teeth Moving After Braces?

I've gotten my braces off about 1.5 years ago. Lately I've been noticing that my teeth have been moving more and more. I'm starting to see bigger gaps between my lower teeth. I've only worn my retainers (clear plastic ones) for a month after braces and only wore them at night until now. Do I need to get braces again? Or will my teeth get better if I start wearing my retainers 24/7 now?

Teeth Moving After Braces?
I'd recommend wearing your retainer 24/7 for maybe a month or so, then only at night for a few months, then every other night... and so on, just like you would if you had just gotten your braces off. Try that before you decide to spend all that money and time on braces again. You should have followed the orthodontist's directions in the beginning.
Reply:ur teeth may get better but not as perfect as they were,,,,i had the clear retainer and it doesnt do any good.....


i ended up gettin braces all over agen coz they became that bad!!





good luck
Reply:Did you stop using your retainer sooner than your orthodontist recommended? Whether or not this is the case, it may be possible to avoid getting braces again if you get to your dentist or orthodontist as soon as possible for an examination. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that you'll need braces again.





Good luck with this.
Reply:i did the same thing i didnt wear my retainer and my teeth moved another reason they moved so much was my wisdom teeth came in late you should wear your retainer maybe even consider getting braces again
