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.
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.
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..
yes you can Get a Retainer... And just ask your dentist!
A retainer, though neither are cheap a retainer costs $500-1,000 and braces cost $5,000 for a full two year treatment
no you don't because just getting a retainer will put your teeth back because you've already had braces.
It has the same function as braces, but is only a wire. Like a retainer.

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.
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.
If you don't wear your retainer, then your teeth will stick out and you have to wear braces again.
She should've gotten a retainer and worn the retainer as she was told to. If she didn't follow that, she'll probably have to get braces again.
Yes ASAP i did not go and get a retainer when mine broke and ended getting braces twice twice trust me that retainer is way more comfortable than braces
