My question, is there any possibilities to my teeth to come back to the old position after the treatment of few years? And whether any possibilities of facing dental problems like loosening of teeth in old age because of my treatment. Please kindly answer my question. thank you.

Hi swetha, of course there is a possibility for the teeth to get back to its previous position. That is the reason we all you to use the retainer for quite long time. If you use the retainer properly then you can reduce those recurrence. For your second question, there is no chance for the tooth to get loosened because of the treatment you are undergoing. So no worries. Cheers.
