Teeth moved a little from not wearing retainer?

Question

so my teeth have moved back a little from me neglecting to wear my retainer, can they be re-straightened without having to pay for the whole braces treatment again?

Answer 1

happened to me,

i have a plastic retainer.  my teeth moved to the point where the retainer wouldn't fit, so pushed the retainer in harder,  it hurt but the retainer moved my tooth back to where it should be

Answer 2

nope. same thing happened to me. now i have a crooked bottom row of teeth. it sucks. cuz i cant afford braces again. good luck

Answer 3

WEAR YOUR RETAINER! it will hurt because they are moving again, but leave them in for at least a day. and don't forget again, or else you'll be back in braces

Answer 4

It's so obvious.  If you don't want to go through the hassle of having braces again, just wear your retainer?!  Braces are expensive and I'm assuming you're a teenager.  Did you pay for them?  Think about it that way.  I bet if you're the one who paid for them, you may take your teeth a bit more seriously.  Right?  Considering you don't take it seriously (otherwise you wouldn't of stopped wearing your retainer), what if your parents made you pay for a second round of braces?  How would that make you feel?  I'm sure you'd look at it a lot different.  Think.

Answer 5

i don't know how badly your teeth moved, but you should've worn your retainer like a good boy.

the success of ortho treatment depends on patient compliance.

i think you better have your orthodontist take a look at it asap.

Answer 6

Start wearing your retainer!

Answer 7

You should be wearing your retainer.
