Hello I'm siya. 3 years before was gone to braces treatment for my teeth, after dat my teeth ok nowadays I'm noticing my teeth again cuming out like it was before. Why it's happening can my old retainer help it to back it on its place. My upper teeth retainer fit but not lower jaw not fitting help. Can I wear upper jaw retainer only.

Hi lybrate-user if you feel that your teeth are moving back to their original arrangement after orthodontic treatment, I think the best option for you would be to see your orthodontist again. They might be best placed to advise you about the most appropriate course of action. The original retainers may not fit anyway after 3 years, as they might be distorted. Thanks.

Consult orthodontist. Don't start to use same retainers till doctor recommends. Once corrected ask for fixed retainers.
