what exactly do retainers do?!


Question: What exactly do retainers do?
also, if you take it off when its supposed to be on 24/7 and ur teeth move, will ur retainer bring them back in place?

Answers:

Retainers keep your teeth separated and in place until they will stop moving after having braces. If you have it off, but your retainer still fits, wear it and your teeth should move back



Retainers keep your teeth inline after your braces have moved them into the correct spot. Your next question, it depends on how long, if you just take it off for like 2-3 hours then no, your teeth won't move back, but if you take it off for like a day or 2 at a time, then yes they will move. Last question: Yes, and No, i mean the retainer will move your teeth.....but you have you make sure it still fits your teeth.....

Hope I Helped!!



Retainers keep your teeth from reverting back to their crocked positions. If they are removable, you can take them out when eating and brushing your teeth.
