    My front teeth moved forward
    Hi,

    I took of my braces about year and a half ago. I am still wearing my retainers. At first I would wear them everyday, but I would tend to forget putting them on after lunch at school. Right now, one of my front tooth is a bit "wonky". The tooth is more forward than the rest and slighty crooked now. I was wondering if wearing retainers will fix this problem or will I have to get/wear braces?

    Depending on how much it's moved. If it hasn't moved very much, you should be able to fix it by wearing your retainer regularly. You may have to go back to your orthodontist to get a new set made. If they haven't shifted too much, you shouldn't have to get braces again.
