Retainer not fitting well?!
Question:
Retainer not fitting well?
I admit it- I've been lazy about wearing my retainer, so the following is purely my fault.
My bottom retainer fits pretty well still, but my top is having major difficulty fitting. If the front of the retainer (near my two front teeth) is securely in place, the back (near the back of my teeth) is not.
Does anyone think if I get my retainer used to the front of my teeth, the back will slowly fit as well? It will pop in, but just not how it's supposed to.
Have I completely screwed myself over?
Help ASAP would be appreciated.
Answers:
Go to your orthodontist ASAP to see if they can adjust it.
They may not be able to adjust it and may have to make a new one, but the alternative is having crooked teeth again.
