Yes: If your braces treatment was done by a specialist Orthodontist, he/she created the best possible platform on which the Restorative Dentist can now do cosmetic restorative e treatment. Ask your Orthodontist to consult with your General Dentist to stage your restorative treatment. Retainers may have to be adjusted or remade as restorative treatment proceeds.

Yes: Always wear a retainer ( otherwise your teeth will shift). Get a consultation with a Prosthodontist, he will help you with the overall treatment plan ( implants, whitening, possible veneers)

After braces removal, if retainers are not worn, do teeth completely go to original position or shift only to some extent(50%)? Means ortho treatment is against mother nature? If it was so natural in reshaping the structures,then this shouldnt happen
