Got My Braces Off 3 Years Ago And My Retainer Still Fits But…?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 15th, 2009

My teeth are really tight in them because they’ve moved a little bit, not much though. what happened was, I started noticing that I was getting this tiny bit of a gap in between my front teeth so i thought if I started using my retainer again all the time my teeth would move back (it’s an invisalign thing thats molded)… anyways, I hate taking it out now to eat and stuff because it hurts since my teeth are moving back in place, but I was wondering how long will it take to actually move back so that I can just wear it at night?
and by the way, lesson learned: listen to your orthodontist.

  It will probably take a while. I had the same problem and in the end I was in so much pain, a nerve in my tooth died and an abscess formed and now I’m getting a root canal filling done. So be careful! Don’t over do it
