Can teeth go back to their original state after removing braces ? is age related ?

Yes: If one does not wear the retainers as prescribed by the orthodontist than teeth will slowly start to move back in its original positions. This is not age related.

Elastic fibers in there gum tissues want to pull teeth back toward their original alignment. Want stability after braces, wear retainers exactly as directed. If not you will through away time, effort, and money.

Wear your retainers: Not many things are forever. Everything in your body changes so after orthodontic treatment teeth will most likely move. It will happen for adults and children, no difference. Bigger changes bigger relapse. Using retainers (either fixed or removable) will help keep the correction and protect that nice new smile from changing.

Relapse: After braces are removed you should definitely wear retainers. Many different things may have caused your original misalignment and some of those may still be present (breathing patterns, parafunctional habits, muscle attachments). After wearing retainers for a while you will be able to judge how often they will need to be worn. You will be able to feel tooth movement before you can see it.

Yes: if a retainer is not worn. This can happen at any age. the key is to wear your retainer for years after treatement
