Evaluation: By "dislocated teeth" I assume you mean some of your teeth have moved from their post Orthodontic position? At the very least you would need to consult with an Orthodontist regarding options. Especially for "alternate" options a consultation with a General Dentist would be appropriate. Retention after Orthodontics help to keep the teeth in their position. They will likely move again if not worn.

See a dentist first: for examination, x-rays, treatment and possible referral to orthodontist.
