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 do you get your parents to get you a retainer even if you dont need one?

You can't, any qualified dentist will not fit you with a retainer if a retainer is not needed. If they did so they could be sued.


If your teeth moved do you you need braces again?

no you don't because just getting a retainer will put your teeth back because you've already had braces.
