Question:

I need advice from orthodontists please!!! What should I do?

I got my braces removed about.... 9 months ago I believe. He told me to wear my new retainers 24/7 (except when i eat of course) until further notice. But I didn't listen to him and I stopped wearing them for about 2 months. I tried putting them both on again. My top jaw still lets my retainer fit on, but my bottom jaw got so screwed up I didn't even notice! So I went back in for my check up and he told me to just put on the retainer whenever I can and it would slowly go back to normal. Well I tried that for the first 2 months and nothing was happening at all. So I just stopped wearing it all together. Now I have a loose tooth in the very front because my jaw is getting really badly messed up from my new teeth growing in the back. I told my mom about it but she isn't letting me go back to my orthodontist... Is there anything I can do with my old retainer to try and make my teeth go back strait at all? Or am I doomed until I somehow make it back to my orthodontist?


Answers:

Oh, boy you have a real problem due to your neglect. You need to contact your Orthodontist ASAP. It's possible that your lower teeth will need to be rebanded at this point. In any case, I am concerned about the loose tooth and this needs to be addressed. Tell your mom you would like to pay for your mistake yourself as this may ease her mind. Good luck!
