About retainers?!


Question:

About retainers?

Well, 2 weeks ago, I got my braces off, and my orthodontist told me to wear my retainers all the time. I did for the first few days, but then I stopped and only wore it a little. The retainer doesn't fit that well anymore, and I was wondering if my teeth would shift back if I wore it all the time now?

Umm.. the retainer isn't loose though, it's kinda tighter than my teeth.. so I have to push it in... is there anyway my teeth will return to it's normal state then?


Answers:

If the retainer is still loose enough to fit over your teeth and it is straight, then your teeth will probably go back to where they were. They are going to be sore though, like when you got your braces tightened.
