Teeth Movement?!


Question:

Teeth Movement?

Hi. I got my braces off just over a year ago and i was told by my orthodontist to wear my retainer full time for about 6 months, however since then i have only really been wearing my retainer every other night. When i do wear my retainer, i notice that my teeth move slightly forward within about an hour or so. Is it damaging to my teeth to be moving back and forwards every couple of nights?


Answers:

my son had a brace then a retainer ...i guess u shud keep it in till the dentist says u dont have to where it anymore ..the whole idea is to keep the teeth from moving ....my son only wore his retainer for a wk ..and that was at night ...your teeth will move if u dont wear it ..but it wont do no long lasting damage...and it certainly wont show that they have moved ..its very minimal...my sons teeth are perfect now ...bet yours are too!!!
