Most people get retainers after braces to keep their teeth inline. However, some people wear retainers for straightening a particular tooth.
For example I had to wear a retainer after getting a tooth taken out, to keep my teeth inline, allowing my second tooth to come through. After this I then got braces and then had to wear a retainer to keep them straight.
What else can I help you with?
Do you have to get impressions when you get braces off?
Yes, because they need the impressions to make your retainers.
Is retainers for nerds?
Lol, no. Retainers are not for nerds. They help keep your teeth strait AFTER you get your braces off so you don't have to get them put on again. No one wants to spend all of that money to get braces on a second time so if you have a retainer, I suggest wearing it. ^_^
Can you get trays before you get braces or after?
you could get trays on before you get braces on or after you get them off.
Do I have to wait until my braces come off to get a snake bite piercing?
Yes. It is important to wait until you get your braces off.
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.
What kind of doctors take care of your teeth?
dentists take care of your teeth regularly, but orthodontists are the doctors who put on, fix, and take off braces and retainers and stuff like that.
My upper teeth are a bit crowded and i asked my orthodontist to get braces and he said they will probably get straight over time but is it even possible to get straight teeth naturally over time?
Yes, teeth move all the time. This is why people get retainers after they get braces off.
Is it normal for your teeth to move apart slightly right after you get your braces off and you're still using those plastic temporary retainers also will the real retainers help my teeth move back?
Yes, some movement is completely normal. Your teeth are adjusting to their new positioning without the aid of the braces. The clear plastic retainers shouldn't be "temporary", they are for use during the day while you are moving your jaw and mouth a lot. The metal and plastic retainers are harder to wear but they're designed to keep your teeth where they are - not move them around. If you are worried however you should speak to your orthodontist, not the Internet.
Has christian beadles a braces now?

What are retainers like?
When you have braces for a certain amount of time you are required to wear a clear or wire retainer. They keep your teeth from moving. So say you got your braces off and you refuse to wear a retainer or you just don't want to, your teeth will move and then you have to get braces again. Your retainer doesn't have to be in very long.
Can you have a rhinoplasty done with dental braces?
You should be able to. I had general anesthesia during oral surgery while I had braces.
When you die and you have braces do they take them off before burying you?
whichever god wants :)
