Can this be fixed by tweaking retainer??

If you have finished with your orthodontic treatment and are wearing retainers (or will be soon), this is a special place to connect with others in your (enviable) situation. Ask a question or make a comment about life post-braces.

Can this be fixed by tweaking retainer??

#1 Post by kahootz »

I just got my hawley retainers last week, but noticed right after that my left front tooth protrudes more than my right. Is this something that can be corrected with my retainer? This must have been how things were with my braces; however, it's something that wasn't noticeable to me until they were removed. I don't have an orthodontist appointment for another six weeks, but feel I should point this out to them beforehand if it can be corrected by tweaking my retainer.

Yes - I'm sure your retainer can be tweaked to push your tooth back where it belongs. I hope you asked them already since this post is a bit old lol.
