I had braces about a year ago...?

Question

and now my top front teeth are starting to go crooked again :(

i wear my retainer at night like my orthadontist told me, but it keeps getting worse. should i start wearing my retainer more, will that make them straighten up? how many hours should i wear it so it stops going crooked?

Answer 1

I think you should start wearing your retainer for maybe about 14 hours a day. ( 8 hours while you are sleeping ,and about 6 hours during the day, which is usually the recommended amount when you first get them out)

Answer 2

You can try wearing them more, or else bring your retainers back to your orthodontist and ask him/her to help you tighten the retainers.
