My teeth are moving back to their original position after having brace treatment, what should I do?

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010
Q.
I am 17 years old. I had braces and my treatment finished last year. I did get retainers to wear after my braces were removed but I didn’t wear them as often as I should of. I am now starting to notice that my teeth are slowing moving back as there as there are tiny gaps back and also when I put my retainers in they feel really tight. I havn’t been to the orthodontist for over a year because my treatment finished but I’m not sure I am allowed to go back to get the gaps closed again. Any help would be kindly appreciated. Thank you.,

Will the removable retainer do the job of preventing my teeth from grinding?

Monday, July 5th, 2010
Q.
Hi I tend to grind my teeth during the night time. I have a mouth guard that I wear once or twice a week during the night (It is bulky and uncomfortable). My question is if I wear my removable retainer on my upper jaw as I have just recently removed my braces, (I have been told I must wear my essix retainer every night for a very long time) do I also have to wear my mouth guard every night to prevent the removable retainer from getting damaged or will the removable retainer do the job of preventing my teeth grinding. Kind Regards.,
