Lost retainers a few years back, wisdom teeth making the front crooked.?

My teeth were so perfect when i was 16, then i moved out and forgot my retainers, only to find my mother had thrown away everything i left behind that night. I had been wearing them for two years and i thought that was long enough but now my wisdom teeth are pushing through and my front teeth became crowded. I really cannot afford the process of braces all over again especially for the only two teeth I need to fix. Is there a cheap option to only move a couple teeth? any alternative whatsoever? Is it possible to rig something up on my own?

yes your wisdom teeth may need removed, however just so you know you may not need to go throught the whole process again, go back to the orthodontist that was treating you and see if they can make you new retainers and simply adjust them as needed to correct the problem. and sport guards will not do, even though they form to your teeth they simply are not strong enough to move things around or hold their spot, however they are good for helping you to avoid grinding your teeth together at night. also as sad as it seems you are suppose to wear your retainers 24/7 for at least a year or two after removal of braces then at night for the rest of your wonderful life. good luck.
Reply:You should probably get your wisdom teeth removed. If your wisdom teeth were coming in normally (not impacted) and if your mouth had enough room to accomodate them, they wouldn't be messing up the alignment of your other teeth.





See a regular dentist and see what advice he offers for extracting your wisdom teeth. About 1/3 of all wisdom teeth end up being extracted.
Reply:call an endodontist and have them removed. There is not enough room in most people's mouths for wisdom teeth. Usually people have them pulled in their 20's.








Get a mouth guard for hockey players. The kind you soak in water and then bite down to mold to your particular teeth, if you're really worried about your teeth shifting. I had a retainer just like this for when I slept.
Reply:get them removed. then go to a dentist and ask to be fitted for retainers so your teeth wont move anymore... eventually as the retainers get tightened, your teeth will be realigned. good luck %26lt;3
