Can anyone tell if anything's wrong with my retainer by this picture?

Question

I just got my braces off 2 days ago. My lower retainer seems fine but my upper retainer seems like its not as tight. Once or twice it fell out of my teeth while I was like talking. I think what I'm saying is I dont feel that grip like the bottom one. The wire line isn't in the middle like most of the retainers I've seen but at like the bottom of the teeth. Is all of this normal?

Here's a picture: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=4imtk3&s=4

My ortho. saw it when I first got but all he did was push it up alittle. I've been pushing like he showed me but thats as far as it goes. I'm afraid to go beyond what he did because I might break.

Answer 1

i looks like the top part that goes on your front teeth is too low and is bent a little bit

Answer 2

ummmm.... well it obviously doesn't fit, so go back to ur ortho and tell him what it's been doing again! hope it works out good luck.

Answer 3

it doesn't look normal to me- like it was bent too much

Answer 4

Never adjust it yourself b/c you break it you buy it, ortho breaks it they buy it. Just call tell them the top is very loose and keeps falling down. It may just be your top teeth are keeping their place very well.

Answer 5

You should talk to your ortho. He may need to adjust it a little because it shouldn't fall out when you are talking. I hope that helped :)

Answer 6

The top is definently bent, tell your orthodontist and hopefully they'll fix it.
