I wear retainers at night to sleep, but Ive never had braces it is just to keep my teeth from shifting any more. I hadnt worn them for about a month, which is ok because ive gone longer before, and last tuesday I decided I needed to wear them again. after I wore them I noticed my front two bottom teeth felt wiggly. we called the dentist on Monday to see whats up. he said that it is ok and that I need to wear my retainer 24 hours a day for about 2 weeks. it has been 4 days doing this, but my teeth seem to have gotten looser. I can see and feel the movement. is this bad? should I keep doing what the dentist said? will they tighten up again?just so you know I am 15 years old, no periodontal disease, and I brush and floss regularly.
HIFI, Ive gone through your concern. It is not to worry to feel some movement during orthodontic treatment. Just follow your dentists' instruction.
