Wisdom teeth ruined results of previous braces but what can be done?

Q. Hi as a teenager, i had braces (train tracks) and after i was finished i was given a retainer to secure my teeth in the correct position. I wore them at night as i was asked for a few months to a year gradually wearing them less. My teeth were straight and i felt no need to wear the retainer no more. Im 20 and about a year ago my my top 2 wisdom teeth came through. as they came through i expireinced no problem. But since then i have noticed that my top teeth on one side have become crooked only slightly and my retainer didnt fit so i couldnt correct the problem. what im worried about is the fact that to this day i still feel them moving and my teeth are now becoming way out of alignment and my bite has become a grinding bite. What do i do, i dnt really want to have braces again and am scared to ask the dentist becuase it will cost so much money which as a student i cant afford. Im just annoyed that it took along time to get my teeth straight and now with in a year they are crooked again. I was never warned of my wisdom teeth being a problem which is why i never took action or cantacted my orthodontist when they came through. Are there any other options that can correct the alignment like a slip on brace. one that is permenent of visiable,
A. I would recommend that you attend either an Orthodontist, or a cosmetic dental practice for a free intial consultation. This will enable you to find out which treatments would be suitable to straighten your teeth, and how long you should expect the treatment to take. There are treatments such as Invisalign which are virtually invisible and removable. There are also systems availble which can acheive results in as little as six weeks. On completion of any alignment treatment, there is the option of either a fixed or removable retainer. I wish you well with your treatment. Kindest Regards. Dr Kailesh Solanki
