my teeth have relapsed after removal of my braces do you suggest i get braces done again?
Q. Hi. I am 17 years old. I had braces for two years but a few months after I got them off, my teeth began to go back to their previous state. I had 4 teeth removed, my premolars I think and now there are small spaces between my teeth, when I went back to my dentist he gaved me Essex retainers, since I had lost mine. Now I need to get a crown in my front tooth. Do you suggest I get braces done again? I am very confused as when I was going to get a crown 3 years ago, my dentist said I needed braces first. Also, is it possible to get braces with a crown?
A.
the decision to retreat will depend on how much you’ve relapsed. The crown would make fixed (bonded ) braces difficult. Most brace treatment requires you to wear the retainers for life to be sure of avoiding relapse. You going to need to be really careful to stick to every night if you do retreat.
