Can a retainer straighten my teeth again?
If a retainer doesn’t fit, it means the teeth can’t be straightened by wearing the retainer alone. A retainer is just what is says “retains” the teeth in the position the braces left them in. The best option is to see your orthodontist and assess whether braces are needed on the front teeth. Depending on how bad the situation is. If you have a gap between your two front teeth (diastema) then you may have a tough fibrous frenum (the piece of tissue that attaches your top lip to your gums) and this tissue will continually force your teeth apart no matter what you do. A small surgical procedure can sort out the problem. Get it checked out…
