My front teeth is rested on my other teeth how could i fix it?

Q. Hi i was wondering who could help me and how .one of my front teeth is sideways in my mouth it is only slightly straight because it is rested on one of my other teeth i had braces on it few years ago and it did work but after i had finished my treatment it started to back to how it used to be and my teeth started to all either go a bit forward or back and it really gets me down. is there anyway this could be put into a normal smile as the braces worked for a bit and then went back to normal i considered getting my teeth straightened medically but i am only 17 i work but its still really expensive.

A. I cannot stress how importnat it is to wear a retainer after having orthodontic treatment. A retainer does exactly what it says- it ‘retains’ the position of your teeth. This can be in the form a small, thin wire at the back of your teeth that is hardly visible- or a removable option sthat you can wear at night to prevent your teeth from moving back again.
Your orthodonist really sould have discussed this with you after you had your braces off. It is something I see alot of. I would definately advise you to have braces again with a retainer at the end this time 🙂
At you age, I wouldn’t recommend any other from of treatment. Hope this has helped. and good luck
