Hello! I am a 19-year-old girl and I will try to tell you briefly about my problem. I was 10 years old when they put braces on me (I was still changing my baby teeth). The reason I wore them was a bite back and I had a gap between the two front teeth. I went to the dentist once a month for a tightening and examination. The pain was unbearable. I wore them for 4 and a half years. When I took them off, my teeth were literally perfect, but over time I began to notice a change in them. The first two years after I took them off were fine, but then I noticed a change in both the bite and the displacement of the teeth, as if everything was going back to normal ... I really don't know what to do. I don't want to wear braces again because my teeth are so tender and tormented that I just don't want to go through this hell again, and on the other hand, all the work and money goes to waste. In my opinion, after so long wearing, they should not return to the same position. What is your opinion on the matter Thanks in advance! :)

You need a consultation with a maxillofacial surgeon. Here are a few.
In general, in order to maintain the result after treatment with braces, the so-called retainer to hold the teeth in the achieved position. Regardless of whether you have had one, it is best to consult the orthodontist with whom you have undergone treatment or someone else as a last resort.
Don't you have retainers ???
Why don't you ask a specialist?
The sages push, walk in a picture.
Go for an examination, you can put splints that come off if the problem is smaller and would help. Certainly don't go to the orthodontist who put your braces on ... if he didn't put retainers on you ... it's not good. Good luck.
From the author - Thanks for the feedback! I've never heard of retainers before ...
If you are from Sofia, I can recommend my dentist, she is one of the best in the city and I have done her braces and I have not had any problems.
From the author - Unfortunately I am very far from Sofia .. :(
My problem is similar, I put braces on for the second time and when I took them off ... I already wear my retainers
What carelessness your orthodontist does not give you retainers ... they are key to maintaining results. No wonder your teeth return to their original state. The only solution is again braces.
The one where he decided to give you ... change the bite so early to stay. It should take some time after the complete change of teeth that any corrections are made. In this situation, you need to find a serious specialist to correct the craziness that has been done so far.
From the author- I forgot to add something. As I mentioned in the article, I still changed baby teeth and to this day, one tooth has not erupted, I do not know what it is due to and now it is empty in its place, but I am 19 ... Is it possible that it is from the braces?
I only fixed my teeth with retainers. They were under any criticism. I put them on during sleep and for 1 hour during the day while studying, for example. And for 2-3 years they were corrected. I heard from the dentist that they also help your age. The question is really to find a specialist. If you are from a small town, see a dentist in a larger city. For the immature (retained) tooth - there is probably no place for it, but there are more serious reasons. You need a really good specialist.
H9, I'm not the author, but I'm from Sofia. I just need a good dentist. I will be grateful if you send me the coordinates of yours.
