No, you don't have to go get braces on again. But you need to go to the dentist and let them x ray the tooth and check for a fracture. A tooth doesn't get knocked out of alignment that easy. You may have broken it at the root or loosened it too much for you to just put pressure on it to fix it. The dentist can put a fixed retainer on the back of your teeth, that will splint the tooth in position with the others giving it support, and time to heal and reattach to the tissue. Don't put this off, call your ortho or dentist so they can get you in. Good luck!

Damn that sounds like it sucks BIG time. Well if you don't mind the tooth being shifted then just continue wearing your retainer, but if you want it fixed I think you need braces again.
When I was in grade 3 I got pushed and I fell and hit my 2 front teeth right directly on the cement, now that hurt like hell, but luckily I didn't have braces yet. But I do have a chip in my front teeth. So they need to be sanded down a bit, but I will always have a bit of a chipped tooth -.-
Good luck with what ever you choose to do!

Your need to wear your retainer without long breaks. Since your braces are newly off, and the tooth got shifted, it is loose and it will move until it finds a place to "stay". If wearing your retainer does not put the tooth back to where it should be and keep it in place, you will need to go back to your orthodontist, but I doubt seriously that he will put you back into braces, unless you wait too long. Good Luck.

Put your retainer back on, those are specifically for your teeth to stay in place if they move. Keep them on all day and night until your tooth moves back and be more careful.

properly i have not had mine got rid of yet yet from what i recognize they first get rid of the cord then the brackets. utilizing pliers, they gently pull onto each and every bracket which ultimately comes off. They then sand down the glue or perhaps with else they placed on your tooth once you first were given braces. I listen that is a very painless yet type of a lengthy procedure. contained sooner or later that's properly worth it although :) strong success having them got rid of, I want i'd have mine got rid of quickly...

Go on back to your orthodontist.he(or she :) is the only one who can answer that and fix it for you. you probably will not get braces again, but like i said im not an orthodontist,so i really dont know.
