Can you move your front teeth?
Braces can be used to move teeth.

Do braces mean teeth?

When you get braces for your 6 front teeth will your back teeth move too?
No not unless you have braces or some other appliance moving your bottom teeth.
Is it normal for your two front teeth to pull apart when you have braces?
Yes, it happens while trying to move other teeth. When the orthodontist finds it, or is doing fine tuning with your teeth, s/he will fix it.
Do you have to have braces or can you just have a retainer?
Braces are designed to move your teeth into better alignment. A retainer is designed to keep your teeth in their current position following braces. If your teeth are where you want them to be, you do not need braces or a retainer. If they are not, you will need to have them moved with braces followed by a retainer to hold them in place.
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.
Is it possible to move the position of the bottom teeth relative to the jaw using braces to correct a weak chin?
Yes. That is what braces are for. It takes a while, but they do move.
Why do teeth move when you have braces?
Orthodontists will want certain teeth extracted (usually premolars) to make more room in your mouth so they can align your teeth properly. Your mouth and jaw may be too small for all your teeth.
Do chains on braces hurt worse?
Yes as they quickly move teeth to close spaces.
Why is a retainer used when braces have been removed?
Once the teeth have been moved into their new position, the braces are removed and a retainer is worn until the teeth stabilize in that position. Retainers do not move teeth, they only hold them in place.
