What do you suggest if my teeth have moved even though i always wear my retainer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Call orthodontist: Your orthodontist should determine if your retainer fits correctly. Once your teeth shift even a little bit, even though you might be wearing the retainer, it's not fitting correctly and therefore is not holding your teeth in place.
