Q. I had 6 months braces on my teeth about 3 years ago. They were bonded or rather should I say that the top front and bottom front has a wire holding them together so that they would not shift. But the front of my top teeth are moving and shifting. What should I do? My husband just passed away and I really can’t pay for 6 months braces again. Can they use the retainer that I had when the braces were removed ?
A. Very sorry to hear about you husband and your situation. If the teeth have moved and you want them back to a straight position then a simpler brace may be possible - such as a clear aligner system. This is similar to the retainer you had when the brace was removed. If they have only slightly moved then it may be possible ( although unlikely) to use this retainer. Please visit your dentist for a proper assessment of the situation
