Question: Haven't worn retainers in about 6 months!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!?
My little sister somehow got hold of my retainers, (they were in my room, in my private space) and she broke the top set!. I still have the bottom ones!. It has been 6 months and I have noticed a little shifting!. Should I get a new one even though they have already shifted!? Or should I wait it out!? I hear that your teeth will likely shift anyway!.!.!.!.!. Is it possible that the shifting may get worse!? Please I need help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Get new ones built, and have your sister pay for it, it will be expensive!. AND WEAR IT! it's not worth it to spend thousands on something you won't maintain! did you go out and buy a convertible, just to let it sit, unmaintained, in your driveway!? NO! get a new retainer now, and your teeth will shift back!. it may be painful at first, but it's worth it!. you teeth will shift anyway, even with a retainer, but it won't be as bad!. good luck! and remember to call your orthodontist!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I never wore mine!. Yes, my teeth shifted!. They shifted to the point that it was difficult to put the retainer on!. However, I have very straight teeth - I don't notice a different!. If you can put them on your teeth will shift again - that is what my orthodontist said (I think - this was over 10 years ago)!. I'd call just to make sure!Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need new braces!. I know, it sucks!. Just go to the orthodontics and make sure!. If you're lucky, they'll just make you a new retainer that will fit better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Did you have braces before!? Because you should be wearing you're retainers for like a year after you get your braces taken off to insure that there's no shifting!. It's very likely that the shifting will get worse, you should see your orthodontist and (s)he'll tell you what to do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
