How to maintain teeth alignment after braces off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wear your retainers.: You should use some kind of retention for life. Getting a night guard on the lower teeth and a smaller retainer on the upper teeth is a great combination. They will hold your tooth position, protect your teeth from night time grinding and keep your jaw in a joint friendly position.

I know that rubber bands are used to perfect the bite in the teeth,I was wondering that when braces are removed, is it normal for the bite to not look as tight after a few weeks? Because now theres no more force of the bands, so the bite loosens up?
