I got my braces off about four months ago and then I got a retainer. Well, I think my teeth have moved, not so the they are crooked again but I my bite isn't as perfect. I was wondering I I could get by again so that my bite becomes perfect and also to improve my facial profile. Is it cheaper to get it a second time. and the sooner you get the second ones on the better?

HAPPY,
GO BACK TO THE ORTHODONTIST AND FIND OUT WHY THE TEETH ARE "CROOKED AGAIN." THIS MAY BE FIXED BY WEARING THE RETAINER MORE FAITHFULLY.

If your teeth were straight after the first session of braces, then the center of suspicion points to the retainer; it may not be properly made or you were neglectful. Get back to the same orthodontist for a consult.

two thoughts. first go to your ortho as soon as you can. perhaps your retainer is not as tight as it first was,so your teeth are shifting.he can tighten it up alittle and it may correct your bite, the other thing is that even after braces with the force of chewing your teeth can move alittle even after the best ortodontic work.either way the sooner the better for a recheck

get your retainer fixed, it might have become loose, or you may not have been using it as often as you should.
you can get braces again if your teeth move back but it would cost the same, unless you did a deal with ur ortho.
because your teeth have a slight movement, its very unlikely that you would have to get braces again.

You might want to consult a new specialist. My sister had braces twice. She had too much crowding. The new doctor extracted a few teeth to realign teeth in a better way.
