Question

Answer 1

you need to get braces and then once those are off you get a retainer so your teeth do not move and go back the way they were

:)

hope that helped

Answer 2

braces because a retainer you can be stuck with for 10 years or a while

Answer 3

its always braces first, then retainer

Answer 4

You only have retainers after you've had braces.

Answer 5

well I hope this helps,but you may not have to do the same thing my daughter did. she also had the same-thingg happen,she wore braces for about 4 years,they said only 2.then they did alot more which prolonged it even longer,now she has wonderful teeth,but has to wear a retainer at night.for the rest of her life,or the teeth will just go back the way they were. Hope i helped a little.

Answer 6

yeah braces & then retainer

Answer 7

First they will just check it and most likely give you a retainer first, pain in the ****, i have one everything gets stuck and it's quite uncomfatable first but you get used to it.  

Answer 8

Braces then retainer!

I just got my braces off!! Now I'm wearing a retainer!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

Retainers come after braces.

Braces set the teeth in place and retainers RETAIN the shape.

It depends how bad your teeth are though, ask your dentist.

My bet would be, since they wanna squeeze you outta every penny, they'll recommend braces and then after that they'll milk you for that 500 dollar retainer set.

Answer 10

only ur dentist can tell u that, dont worry, braces dont hurt as much as everyone says they do.

Answer 11

you'll have the braces first and then the retainer afterwards

Answer 12

IT will be braces and possibly a retainer at night
