Can you re straighten your teeth with your retainers?

i stopped wearing my retainers and untill recently couldnt tell a difference .... can i put them back in and get my teeth to go back to perfect and straight

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.

Reply:Don't mean to sound big headed or anything but I think my teeth are pretty good. I've never had any fillings and they are straight and white :-)
Reply:me julie, I am a gramma who wears dentures. Back in the olden days my parents didn't have the dental insurance so we only went to the dentist when a tooth needed pulled.
Reply:Hang on let me go and get them....
Reply:They are in good condition. No fillings or cavities
Reply:let me ask...





"teeth?"





"what?"





"how are you?"





*silence*
Reply:i go to the dentist once a year for my check ups and i have 4 fillings from when i was a kid
Reply:Well I have on that has a porcelain filling. But my teeth are pretty white despite the filling.





I use Crest Night Effects
Reply:Mostlky white, but a few fillings.
Reply:a tint darker than white... no dental treatment done berfore...
Reply:I have a few fillings,i also have 1 gold tooth i did have 2 but 1 came out when i was eating chocolate eclairs.And i wasn't going pay another £65.00 to have it replaced.I bet it's double that now for a gold tooth
Reply:They're fine but I do have 3 fillings.
Reply:straight and white with one filling. i had braces.
Reply:I have a couple of fillings, and a pin in one of the top ones - you can actually see it sticking out of the tooth.


Apart from that, my dentist says I have 'lovely' teeth.
Reply:Mine are perfect and white, no fillings or cavities.
Reply:Too many fillings, six taken out and two crowns (one white and one gold).
Reply:I have 1 gold crown in the back of my mouth. I recently broke a tooth in the back so will be getting that repaired soon. A few fillings, reasonably white teeth and overall in pretty good shape according to my dentist. : ) My only regret is not wearing my retainer to keep my teeth perfect when I was a teenager. I never remembered to put it in, so someday when I'm done with school, I'd like my top teeth realigned to shape them back up.
Reply:Mine are overcrowded and crooked...they're not pearly white but they're not discolored either. No fillings but I'd like to be brave enough to get braces to straighten my crooked teeth!
Reply:There not too bad, a few fillings from when I had a fear of the dentist and didn't go for a while but apart from that in pretty much good shape.
Reply:I'm 13 and haven't had a filling yet but i HATE the dentist *cringe*
Reply:Yep got fillingsx
Reply:I don't so much have holes in my teeth as enamel around the holes. One of my front teeth is missing, I did have a crown but it fell out and I can't affod to get it fixed.





They're white enough, I clean them but they need a lot of work on them.
Reply:I have 8 fillings and a crown, but they are all healthy. I am 44 and have 27 left and they are white. I have never smoked and my dentist says I have great teeth at my age.
Reply:well if teeth make the person I'm all lucked out, i like sweets and coffee and smoke, clean them 3 tI'mes a day and have a few fillings from when i was a child, had some taken out due to over crowding so im not gappy toothed ''yay''. go to the dentist every 6 months for a good clean. are not bright white but not brown and manky either, xxxxxx

Teeth Whitening with Rev Kit - Do i Brush Teeth afterward?

Im using the Perfect Rev! 15-min kit for teeth whitening provided to me by my dentist. Im following the instructions - brush my teeth like normal (Colgate total or the provided Arm %26amp; Hammer Baking Soda Hydr-Peroxide toothpaste) + floss, use the tray and 14% hy-perox solution for 15 min, rinse with special mouthwash. It then goes on to say simply "brush gently" implying i should once again brush my teeth after the mouthwash. After which i should not drink or eat for 30 mins.





My question is do i "gently brush" with water r do i use my regular Colgate Total or the provided Arm %26amp; Hammer Baking Soda Hydr-Peroxide toothpaste. I dont want to neutralize any existing reaction going on on my teeth (you know, 30 mins no drink/eat statement).





Thanks.

Teeth Whitening with Rev Kit - Do i Brush Teeth afterward?
i don't smoke or drink red wine but my teeth are also discolored my dentist has given me 16% peroxide stuff it took two weeks to see any improvement and i had to wear mine in bed for at least 8 hours so maybe you need stronger bleach and yes brush normaly with tooth paste i scrub mine lol they look quite nice now and mine where really stubborn!

I have a question concerning my teeth?

Okay i have good teeth but they are not perfect. I have a pretty small gap but i will do anything to get it closed. The only thing i will not do is get braices or get it surgically closed, so is there anything i can do like do yall have any hints or suggenstons. Plus i also need some tips on how to get my teeth whiter. I brush my teeth twice a day but is there any hints on how to get it really white without getting it bleached or using any special chemicals. PLEASE HELP!!!!

I have a question concerning my teeth?
you can get porcelain veneers applied that will make up the gap and give you a sparkling white look but it's not cheap. A good cosmetic dentist should be able to help you.The first consultation shouldn't cost too much.
Reply:I don't know about your gap, but I know backing soda gets teeth pretty while. The only problem is that it taste really bad. Just mix a little with water and brush your teeth with it.
Reply:A little gap between your teeth probably looks just fine to everyone. If you want your teeth whiter, mix equal amounts of salt and baking soda together (I have mine in a salt shaker) put a few dried beans in with it to keep it loose. Sprinkle some in the palm of you hand. Wet your toothbrush and the dip into your palm to get this "natural" toothpaste. Works like a charm. I hope this helps.
Reply:those are the only ways to get your teeth "perfect". you baking soda one a month to whiten them.
Reply:I'm assuming that you have the gap between your front teeth. If it is only small like you say then there is the possibility that the dentist may be able to add a little white coloured filling to each side of the teeth to close it. As for getting your teeth really white, sorry no suggestions.

Bonding on teeth=horrible idea?

ok so i have horrible horrible staining on my teeth.


like honestly it makes me want to cry.


i have cried over it many times, haha.


my friend said she did when she was little she had the same thing


and a few years ago the docters put bonding on her teeth and now they look perfect.





i mentioned this to my mom and she started yelling at me and siad that 3 of my aunts had it and they all b*tch about it all the time because it flakes off and stuff.





is this true?


is it even worth it?


%26amp;how much does it generally cost?

Bonding on teeth=horrible idea?
the costs depend on your area. If your dentist cant remove them I would recommend porcelain veneers. They can be pricey but can change the whole look of your teeth, the shape, color and size. They have great results with these, especially if you take care of your teeth. I cant say that I would recommend just regular bonding. I live in So. Illinois and it is anywhere from 800-1000 per tooth.

Late Growth in Upper Jaw, Top Teeth Do not touch bottom teeth when I bite?

Well the back or sides of my teeth touch on the top and bottom when I bite. I had braces and my teeth were very close to perfect, now I can not bite food with my front teeth because my teeth do not close all the way. Also I guess I tongue thrust when I swallow. I do not want to have mouth surgery, I saw a surgeon he said he could fix it, but can this be solved easily with braces, if so, how long?

Late Growth in Upper Jaw, Top Teeth Do not touch bottom teeth when I bite?
Ah - and I thought I was the only one! I've had my braces for 2 1/2 years now, and that was after I had an RPE. Good luck!
Reply:ask your orthodontist silly.
Reply:This is something we can not answer without seeing appropriate x-rays. You could also have arthritic degeneration of the mandibular condyles, which would create a gap between your front teeth (top to bottom).
Reply:The tongue thrust or TMJ/Degeneration might caused the open bite problem. If the tongue thrust is the caused, I can treat it using Myofunctional Orthodontics to closed your bite down. You can call my office for more information 562-904-2157.
