Can retainer realign shifted teeth following braces treatment 10 years ago?

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010
Q.
I have had braces about 10 years ago. Two teeth in the front have shifted not long after i removed my braces. I also have an overbite again. Would it be possible for me to get a retainer to align my teeth again or do I have to use braces again. Will it get worse over the years? It seems to be fairly the same after it shifted.,

Would a brace work in my case?

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010
Q.
I would like advise on the best type of treatment. One of my two front teeth has a filling as I broke it in half when I was young. The filling is ok if looked after and cleaned regularly but the two teeth are not exactly the same length. My dentist advised not to “mess with it” as he says it is cracked right up into the root. The tooth next to it is an underbite and in photos often looks like a gap. I would love to be able to have this pushed forward but I am concerned about potentially knocking or damaging the already damaged front tooth. I am also concerned about taking a healthy tooth and having it filed down to a have a crown put on as I have friends who constantly have problems with crowns falling off. I would also like to be able to have a “good smile” throughout treatment. Would a brace work or do I need something more evasive?,
A.
A brace is possible but I cann… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
