Does anyone still have a weird bite?

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.

Does anyone still have a weird bite?

#1 Post by SilverGirl »

Hi, there! I was de-banded six days ago, have permanent retainers, and I feel like my bite is still weird. Does anyone know if the bite continues to settle for a while after de-banding, or is this going to be my bite from now on?

It will settle. My bite is very different now, better actually, then it was when I first got my braces off. If after 6 months you still don't like the way it feels, call your ortho.

Oh, good. I figured that was probably the case, but it's good to hear it from someone who's experienced it!
