Retainer problrm help?!

Retainer problrm help?

Hi I haven't wore my retainer in a while maybe 5-10 days as I have been sick. Any ways now it does not seem to fit the way it used . It does not hit the roof of my mouth anymore and im sure it use to be snug with the top of my mouth. Anyways will wearing it longer then usuall help it fit in my mouth again. Will I have to get braces again or another retainer. Will it eventually fit the way it used to. My parents will be extremely mad if i have to get braces or another retainer as I just got my braces off a year ago. I want my retainer to fit again. also I have a permanent bottom retainer and my overbite seems worse since I haven't wore the top retainer like I was supposed to everynight.

Begin wearing your retainer faithfully each night again. Also, it would be worth wearing it for a more extended period of time each night. Brush your teeth right after dinner and wear it all the way through the night. I find that when I even miss one night of wearing my night guard, my teeth shift significantly, and I have had my braces off for...well, I think over three years now! Usually I don't have a problem getting my teeth to shift back to their normal spot after a couple of days of wearing my retainer again.

If it continues to be a problem, visit your orthodonist/dentist (whoever is in charge of your orthodonic work). He/She might have you fitted for a new, tighter retainer that can re-align things.
