BIG RETAINER PROBLEM...?

I got braces off 12th august.. had an appointment to come back 19th august but there was some sort of fire.. so i was re-appointed to come on the 26th of august.. its the 22nd now and i can already see some of my teeth have moved slightly.. will my teeth be able to fit in the retainer?? will they be ok? or did i waste 13 months of my life having braces on :<

Answer 1

I got mine on the same day, but yes they should be ok, might just be a bit tight for a little while

Answer 2

I&#039;ve never heard of getting your braces off and then having to make a whole new appointment to get your retainer (s) but if your orthodontist had you make the appointment, I&#039;m sure everything will be fine. They wouldn&#039;t have had you do that if they thought your teeth would drastically move. Even if they shift a tiny, tiny bit, they will instantly go back as soon as you get your retainer in...so don&#039;t worry about it. :)

Hope I helped!

Answer 3

wow that stinks that you dont get ur retainer the same day. i got mine off, then i waited for like half an hour and they gave me my retainer.

but ur teeth will be fine.

Answer 4

sorry to hear that they&#039;ll be fine

Answer 5

if your retainer is already made, then there shouldn&#039;t be any problem.  it will move your teeth back to how they were when you had braces

Answer 6

hey SAME problem here!

I got my braces off June 28th-ish, lost my retainer within two weeks, and found it 3 weeks later, when we had already ordered a new one.

It hurt a little bit at first but it was completely fine.

Answer 7

They will shift slightly, that is normal. And your retainer will just fit tight.

Answer 8

they will be fine

Answer 9

You shoulds call the dentist. I know if I take my retainer out for like a hour only it becomes harder to put back in my mouth.
