Q.
Hello there Dr. Moore. I recently had my braces removed, which i have been wearing for 4 years now. I have been having inconsistent appointment with the dentist due to my study schedule and i study pretty far away from the clinic. I had it done at a government clinic, as it it much cheaper. Upon removing the braces, the nurse took a mold of my teeth and i was then informed that i will only be able to receive my retainer about 6 weeks after. Hence, right now i am going through my days without a retainer. I was scared and feeling insecure about my teeth moving out of position as i am not having any form to held my teeth in position, is there anything i can do at the mean time? Will wearing the retainer later on move my teeth back into position if there might be a significant movement of my teeth? I could somehow rather feel that a few of my teeth is moving a little out of position compared to when i took it off 4 days ago, perhaps its the paranoid feeling.

Hope you could give some advice in this and thank you so much in advance.
