teeth moving already? please help
I just got my braces off about 2 weeks ago..my 2 front teeth look like they are moving a bit already and I wear the retainer 24/7 almost, except when eating...can this be fixed without putting them back on? I have both the Hawley and the Essix but I wear the Hawley during the day and the clear ones at night cause I clench and it helps a bit...i have top and bottom retainers..please help

There have been other people who have had this problem; some have had to be rebraced. Maybe your braces got taken off to early or maybe your retainers don't fit correctly. Either way, I'd call your ortho and let them know what is going on. Maybe it cane be fixed by wearing one retainer all the time for a while?
Good luck!

thanks for replying...sometimes I thinks its me..like an illusion...other times i think they are shifting....I was gonna see her yesterday...but I feel so dumb...the ortho made it loser once, it was too tight...but I think I will see her on Tuesday...she is having a baby in December and worry it will be worse if I wait and she is not available..

I would definitely get an appointment as soon as possible. Maybe if you get your retainer adjusted now, you won't have to be rebraced later and if you must be rebraced, you'd probably want to get the treatment started sooner rather than later. Whatever the case, you should probably do it now. Good luck and here's hoping you can avoid rebracing!
