Can you re straighten your teeth with your retainers?

Can you re straighten your teeth with your retainers?
You should make an appointment with the orthodontist, since the retainers may need to be adjusted. Sometimes wearing the retainers again can move the teeth back, but only if the retainer is adjusted properly and if the crowding is not too severe.
Reply:don't leave them off for too long as your teeth will change too much and the retainers won't be able to straighten them. Acutall to ward off movemnet i would keep the reaitners for life and put them in once a week, after your orthodontist says don't use them anymore.


My nephew just got his braces off but he has metal retainers on the inside of his mouth for life.
Reply:No. You'll have to go back to your orthodontist. Retainers are meant to keep the teeth in the proper position and "set" not "realign" them.
