Hey, I like my teeth alot, but my front teeth have a small gaps that still seems to open up during the day after about 6-7 months of no braces. I wear my essix retainer, and it pushed my front teeth back together. I just want them to fix in place. I had bonding done before to fill in my gap before b...

Yeah, I tend to get cavities and I don't need anymore. So, I am thinking that I will get them out this summer. Anyway, when you get them out, does it cause any shifting in your teeth? My boyfriend got them out, didn't wear his retainer in a week, and now it does not fit and his teeth have shifted.

Also, can it be used in conjunction with the essix? I think I have to wait for my ortho appointment in January to talk...

Hello, I've been visiting this site since I got braces. Now I am out. I have a question, and I have searched and I haven't found a specific answer. I'm wearing a essix retainer for about 3 months.
