After years of brace work my teeth have drifted. What are my options?
Q.
I had braces for 4 years when I was a teenager, and wore my retainer for 6 months longer than was required. Despite this my teeth have grown back to their original position. This is quite upsetting as you can imagine, since I spent my adolescence being ridiculed and going through quite a lot of pain for the braces, and it turns out it was all for nothing. I’m now 22, and don’t want to have to pay for the mistakes my orthodontist made. What treatments are available to me?

I’d advise you to come for a consultation and examination to assess exactly what you need and then we could give you a range of options and accurate estimates then

In the meantime have a look at what’s available and by emailing or calling up you can get an idea of costs

Retention by the way is now considered for life and is best achieved with a fixed retainer not a removable one
hope that helps
