How much do your teeth move after braces are off?
They shouldn't move back to their original positions. The whole purpose of braces is to properly align teeth. You may be given a 'retainer' after the braces are removed; this is put on at night for a few months to make sure that the teeth stay where the braces put them.

Yes they will, I got my braces off around 10 months ago, and I didn't wear my retainer to school, and now my teeth have gone back into an overbite.. lol. I'm so pissed, yeah your teeth will move back, and then you can't get them to go back into place. -_-
