Can your teeth move if permament retainer has broken after 3 years?

Hello,





I%26#039;ve had a permanent retainer on my bottom teeth for about 3 years... maybe more... I accidentally broke it and now I need to get it removed; can my teeth start to move even though I%26#039;ve had it for so long? Will my doctor put a new one in???





I could ask my dentist but I don%26#039;t want to wait until Monday...

Can your teeth move if permament retainer has broken after 3 years?
Yes your teeth can always move if there is any space between them, every time you chew you put pressure on them. I can%26#039;t answer if he will put another one on that is up to him.
Reply:Wha??? How in the hell did you break a permanant retainer? Yes they can move, but if you%26#039;re getting a new one on Monday there is nothing to worry about. They don%26#039;t start to shift that fast.
Reply:as you know, after you get your braces off you taper how much time you spend having the retainer. you%26#039;re supposed to have the retainer in at night, practically, for the rest of your life.


for the weekend you should be fine. 3 years is quite a bit of time and you shouldn%26#039;t have any problem. i%26#039;d be more concerned if you just gotten your braces off.


but make sure you go!!!! i had a patient lose his retainer and three years of braces was wasted in a matter of a couple of weeks after.


please, go to the dentist on monday.


good luck
