The dentist may give a person a retainer if their teeth are curved inward. They would probably not get braces if their teeth are not crooked.

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.

Can one wear a straightening retainer instead of braces for minor teeth problems?
Why certainly, I am 15 and I wear braces. I have heard that, depending on the severity of the problem, only a retainer is necessary to achieve the desired straightening.

If you are not comfortable wearing braces, you can ask your dentist about invisalign.
