Retainers substitutes
My orthodontist asked me to get my lower braces removed about 10 months ago. I hadn't gotten them tightened since the last time 10 months, and only got them removed a couple of days ago. Does this extra time that I allowed the braces to stay on my teeth reduce the risk of my teeth to get back into their original position? I wear my retainers, but it's not possible for me to wear them for the whole day. So that is what makes me wonder that what is the possibility of my teeth returning to their original position.
