i have one year without any medical control for my braces (for same problems) i took them of but my dentist didnt give me any retainer he said come after one month im scared that my teeth will move ...but maybe not bcs i had the braces one year without xontroling and they maybe had done the role of the retainer ??????
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The function of the braces is to move the teeth and align them properly. The function of retainers is to maintain the moved teeth in position. If the braces are in a fixed and inactive state, that can act like a retainer. But it is better to wear retainers after removing the braces, if not the teeth will move back to its previous position. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
