🦷 Will your teeth move after orthodontic treatment?
The short answer is yes, they can! But that doesn’t mean your treatment has failed…
Teeth naturally shift throughout life due to ageing, everyday chewing forces, changes in the jaw, and the pressure from your lips, cheeks, and tongue. That’s why retainers are an essential part of every orthodontic treatment, they help maintain the beautiful results you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
Remember, your braces or aligners straighten your teeth, but your retainers help keep them that way!
If your retainer feels tight, is damaged, or no longer fits comfortably, don’t ignore it. Early intervention can help prevent unwanted tooth movement and protect your smile for years to come.
