Concerned about the situation of my teeth - Please Read

#1 Post by Spades »

Hey I just got my retainer on not too long ago and I notice that I can slightly move my front teeth lower and bottom a bit. Not very much since I dont apply too much pressure, but a small bit back and forth that is noticable when I look into a mirror. Did anyone else experience this? I'm hoping they just need to settle right now as they go a bit out of place, then my retainer aligns them again...

Hi Spades, I recall having read somewhere on this site that it can take around 12 - 14 months for the teeth to 'settle' after they have been moved with the braces, so I'm guessing it's probably normal. If you're really worried, why don't you just call your ortho's office?
