My Teeth Go Crooked Even When I Wear My Retainer?

So the day I got braces taken off, I remember my orthodontist telling me they had to close a small gap between my left canine tooth and some other tooth and make an appointment asap. We never did.

Now my tooth have gone crooked kind of even when I wear my retainers. Do you think its because of that?

Suggestion:

Strange that your teeth go crooked when you wear your retainers. Visit your orthodontist as soon as possible to find out if he/she can correct the problem.

not sure, but talk to them about it it is a lot of money to get braces, you need your full teeth recovery

Hi Susie,
If your teeth are "going crooked", it is most likely because the retainers that were made for you were either not properly built or are not of sufficient strength to hold your teeth in place. I am not an orthodontist, but have worked in the field for many years and I don't think there is a connection between the space you describe and your teeth moving. The retainers you have should have been built to hold your teeth in the position they were in when your braces were removed. Closing the space (if that is even necessary) is another matter altogether. My suggestion would be to check out the site I source below, make an appointment to see your orthodontist and get a second opinion about the retainers you are wearing.

Good Luck
