For orthodontist. I am having braces for my teeth after four teeth extractions. After my 1 year completion would they come back to normal showing hollow teeth spaces? How many days did I have to wear retainers for preventing relapsing permanently. Please.

The spaces won't open up if the treatment has been done correctly. I recommend my pts to wear retainers full time for first 2 years and after that night time only for next 3 years. Thank you.

They will not come back the empty spaces you are talking about ...there are only 10 percent relapse chances after treatment ..retainers have to be worn for a period of 9 months ...and there are these other permanent retainers which are placed behind teeth .. but have to be worn for some time
