I wore braces for almost 2 years in India and removed it. Now I m wearing retainer for 8 months. But I am still not satisfied with my look, I have to still strain a bit to close my lips and my lips are open when I am at rest. So I would like to wear braces again to push my teeth inside a bit which will help me to close my lips freely.

This week I am going to India for vacation. So is it possible to get braces(Invisalign/Vaneer or whatever) in India and come back to UK and stay here for 6 months without making any adjustment to the braces.Will my teeth go inside if my braces is not getting adjusted for 6 months? After 6 months I will again go back to India to visit the doctor. I have this plan in my mind as cost in UK is too high. Please advise.

Sounds complicated...
I really don't think it is a good idea to wear any kind of braces for 6 months without seeing a doctor for adjustments.
But that's just my opinion.

You are going to need to go back and forth to the orthodontist several times for adjustments. Also there may be the need for emergency appointments in between in case any issues arise. You are better off having an ortho within close driving distance.
