Teeth Move!

[Jilliane]

Teeth can move your whole life whether you have had orthodontic treatment or not. The only way to prevent unwanted tooth movement is with regular retainer wear. We recommend full time wear for 3-6 months after orthodontic treatment, followed by long term wear every night. Several years after orthodontic treatment, some patients find that their teeth are very stable and can decrease the frequency of wear to a couple of nights a week or less. However, kind of like how some people can eat whatever they want and never gain weight, while others feel like they just look at food wrong and gain weight. Teeth seem to follow a similar pattern. Some people’s teeth are very stable and they could hardly ever wear a retainer to keep their teeth in a good position. While other people notice their teeth moving after just missing a night or two of retainer wear. The best way to avoid orthodontic retreatment is faithful retainer wear.
