Why did my teeth move after braces?+
Teeth can continue to shift throughout life, particularly when retainers aren’t worn as prescribed. It’s a common situation, and an examination can show what has changed in your mouth.
Can aligners fix relapse from my teenage braces?+
They can realign selected teeth that have moved since earlier treatment. Whether trays suit your particular case depends on the movements required, so an assessment comes first.
My old retainer no longer fits. What should I do with it?+
Call the clinic and describe what’s happening, and bring the retainer along to your assessment so it can be looked at with your teeth.
Do crowns or fillings affect aligner treatment?+
Tell us about any existing dental work so that it can be looked at during your examination. The dentist can then explain whether it has any bearing on your plan.
Will I have to wear a retainer again afterward?+
You will. Retention is as necessary after aligners as after braces, because retreated teeth can drift again if the retainer schedule lapses.
