Should I Get Invisalign or a Standard Retainer?
Q.
I had braces from the end of middle school to the middle of my high school years. I lost my retainer about 2 years later and just never got a new one because my teeth never moved or changed. I just turned 22 and noticed my gap in my 2 front teeth is coming back, so I went back to my orthodontist, he told me that my gap is returning and my teeth are starting to go inward and he suggested either Invisalign or a standard retainer. I am not sure which one is best, do you have any advice?

Thank you for your question. Invisalign will move the teeth, a retainer will just hold them as they are. Hope this helps, Andrew.
