Sometimes before or after or both before and after...I hav braces but never had a retainer before but my friends had retainers before they got braces and some of them never got braces but still got a retainer so it just depends how f***ing bad ur teeth r..
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.
A retainer, though neither are cheap a retainer costs $500-1,000 and braces cost $5,000 for a full two year treatment
Bleeding while using a retainer, especially if you haven't worn braces before, can occur but is not considered normal. It may be a sign of irritation or pressure on the gums or teeth as they adjust to the retainer. If bleeding persists, it's important to consult with your orthodontist or dentist to ensure there are no underlying issues.
It has the same function as braces, but is only a wire. Like a retainer.

Either just braces or both. I am 10 yrs old and i got my molds for my retainer yesterday and i will have that for 1 year and a half to 2 years. then i will get my braces for 2 years.
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.
they don't keep your teeth straight forever unless you wear your retainer after wards for a few years but if you even stop wearing your retainer for a few nights you will see your teeth starting to back to the way they were before. so orthodontists recommend wearing your retainer for at least 3 years after you get your braces out.
She doesn't have a lisp anymore. She did have a lisp because she used a retainer (which she calls a flipper - which she reveals in her book). She had braces for a short while but got then removed and switched for a retainer because she couldn't have braces on Hannah Montana. She doesn't use braces or a retainer now.
Yes. However, it's more likely that you'll get braces first for at least 6 months (half a year) and then get a retainer. Good luck! x
If you don't wear your retainer, then your teeth will stick out and you have to wear braces again.
