Two front teeth are shifting outwards??


Question: When I was in 5th grade, I had to get braces and when I took them out, my teeth were straight and now as I am older, I noticed that my two front teeth are shifting outwards and they are not aligned. I really do not have the money to get invisalign either. Does anyone know why and do I need to get braces again?
Answers: Orthodontics works by loosening the current periodontal fibers that support the tooth structure and the doctor then slowly moves the teeth into an aesthetical position using braces or other means. Once they are finally in an acceptable position they give the patient a passive device such as lingual bars, essix retainers or hawley retainers to maintain the tooth position. If they patient fails to wear them, the teeth will begin to shift again. If you cannot afford braces or active hawley retainers, try buying an essix or passive hawley retainer until you can afford orthodontic treatment again. If you cannot afford either, then you have to wait until you can unfortunately. Good luck.
Invisalign is just a fancy retainer. Depending on your teeth, you could probably get a retainer made for you. You have to talk to your orthodontist but it is possible that you would need braces again.
Are your wisdom teeth coming in?

Also you should keep wearing your retainer, I wear my retainer every night, and I got my braces off at 15, and now I am 19.
i heard that if you suck your thumb or any finger it will be normal again...
yes u need braces again
