Teeth keep budging

#1 Post by TheUnk311 »

I've had my retainer for about 2 years now.. I started wearing mine at night and all day weekends about 6 months ago. There are a couple teeth that always seem to move the same amount each day. Are they ever going to settle so maybe one night I can go to bed without them and just wear them a few times a week? With them moving back and forth each day I'm really starting to doubt it!

Teeth movement

Humm.. Don't know for sure.

Some people's teeth settle after 3-6 months and others have trouble with movement over time.

For now, I would suggest that you continue to wear your retainer and have your ortho check to make sure it's still fitting propertly.

Good luck.
