Are you worried that after orthodontic treatment, your teeth will go back to where they were?
Do you wear retainers since having an orthodontic treatment?
If you wear retainers, you should contact your orthodontist if:
- You notice an unwanted change in your bite or your smile
- If you lose a removable retainer or damage a fixed retainer (one that is bonded in behind teeth)

Thank you so much for sharing this important and knowledgeable content with us about misaligned teeth. When the upper and lower teeth don't meet comfortably the cause is a misaligned jaw. Two of the most noticeable types of jaw misalignment are overbite, where the upper teeth protrude, and underbite, where the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth. Misaligned teeth can happen as teeth develop or from childhood habits, such as thumb sucking. The most common cause is when the jaw is too small compared with the size of the teeth.
