TRANSSEPTAL FIBEROTOMY
Hi i want to know about TRANSSEPTAL FIBEROTOMY after braces. I had my braces removed 2 mthns back i got my hawley retainers by my orthodontics. After two months i have seen my one teeth moving. After i said this to my doctor he said you have to do TRANSSEPTAL FIBEROTOMY to cut the fiber around that teeth to prevent it from moving it to its original position.

Nothing to worry about. The fibres are cut so that they orient in the new position when they form again.
However despite this relapse chances are there if you don't wear retainers for a good product of time. Teeth don't like being moved to new positions. They are like teenagers lost in new surroundings. So one does all that helps them adjust to their new surroundings and makes them stay there.
