Will my teeth change?

Question

im going camping 2 nights tomorrow and i dont want to bring my retainer cause im worried im going to lose it. im supposed to wear every other night. but without it 2 nights in a row, will it make a big difference?

Answer 1

no i wouldn't worry about it

Answer 2

no..Unless you just got your braces off within the past 2 weeks..

Then there might be a chance..But a REALLY small chance.lol

Answer 3

not a BIG difference, but yes it will make a difference.

Answer 4

i also wear a retainer. i am suppose to wear it every nite but after a month of getting my braces off. i stoped wearing them every nite. i wore them after every 2 days. my teeth shifted a little. but when i wore it after 2 days it felt really tight and it hurt a little. so then i wear it for every other day. it caused my teeth to shift a little but once i started to wear it everyday.......it went back in place. so don't worry about 2 nights. nothing will happen. but when u come back from ur camping truck.........try to wear the retainer for the whole day. so u replace the missing time. i did that. lol. and i would not take my retainer causse if it gets lost......u'll have to pay.

Answer 5

depending how long you've been using your retainer,it might be quite tight when you put on again if you haven't had it that long but it will probably be alright

Answer 6

I highly doubt it. It would most likely take some time for your teeth to alter their alignment. To be on the safe side, I would contact my dentist/orthodontist to make sure.  

Answer 7

idk

Answer 8

no it wont shift

Answer 9

I think the expense from losing the retainer is a greater danger than the fact that your teeth might move a bit in one night. If you get right back on track with it, it shouldn't be a real problem. Have fun camping!
