Q. Hello DR Butt, I used to wear braces a long time ago. After my braces were taken off i was given retainers to wear for a few months. But now i feel as if my frount teeth are sticking out to much. Iv still got my retainers will they help push my frount teeth back if i start wearing them again? Or what else can i do? Hope you can help me because they really do annoy me! Regards

A. hi if your retainers still fit they may push them back.if they do not your teeth have moved as you probably did not wear the retainers for long enough or properly and you will probably have to go through some orthodontics again
