My Teeth Relapsed When I Caught Chicken Pox And I Couldn’t Wear My Retainer. Could I Get Braces Again?

Tuesday, January 14th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr. Hughes. I’m 15 and I had braces when I was around 13. My story is, my teeth are wonky because I didn’t wear my retainer. However my orthodontist knows I didn’t wear them because I caught chicken pox and it spread into my mouth so I couldn’t wear my retainer. I couldn’t wear them for around 4-5 week because it was to painful. Now my teeth are moving back and they hurt and feel really uncomfortable in my mouth. I was wondering if I could have braces again or even another retainer fitted to fix my problem, would I be able to get this on my NHS? Thank you.
