A retainer can help maintain the position of your teeth after orthodontic treatment, but it typically won't actively push gaps together. If you have gaps that you want to close, you may need additional orthodontic treatment, such as braces or aligners. Some retainers, like bonded ones, can help stabilize teeth, but they don't exert significant force to close gaps on their own. It's best to consult with an orthodontist for personalized advice.
What else can I help you with?
Can a retainer alone without braces fix about a half a centimeter gap between your front two teeth and the two next to them please answer ASAP thanks?
I have braces now and I don't think a retainer would fix gaps because retainers are meant to keep teeth in place after having braces, they aren't meant to move teeth !! Sorry man
Are Teeth Effects bands helpful for multiple gaps?
it bring the teeth closer together
If you use teeth effect bands to close your gap and afterwards get a retainer would the gap stay closed?
I have found from personal experience that a retainer doesn't do much for gaps. It didn't for me. I had about a half centimeter gap in between my two front teeth and the orthodontist used bands to hold the gap. He did this for over a year, yet when I got my braces off and started using a retainer, the gap was back in a month. My teeth continuing to drift may have something to do with my age. I had braces from 10-late 12. I have heard that your jaw is softer when younger and that it hardens with age, thus keeping teeth in place. I'm not totally sure on this though.

If you have straight but gapped teeth and do not have your wisdom teeth yet will the wisdom teeth help close the gap when they come in?
It might help a little, but if your father or mother have gapped teeth, you probably will too.AnswerWhen your wisdom teeth will come out, if you have space, they might close some gaps between your back teeth. It is less likely that they will help closing the gaps between your anterior teeth. To do so, it is better to do an orthodontic treatment.I had gaps between my anterior teeth, like my grandfather did. It was corrected by braces in middle school within only a year. My wisdom teeth came in and still have plenty of room. I found that my teeth tend to move outward, so I still wear braces overnight at least once a week, fifteen years later.AnswerAlthough my teeth are straight, I have gaps in them due to their shape (normal teeth are triangular, mine are square) or so my dentist says. Because the teeth are already straight (not needing braces^), my dentist said the solution to my gaps is porcelain veneers. He also said that braces would only force my teeth together, and that they would constantly be moving back to their original place because they were already in the correct position. I had my wisdom teeth removed while they were still impacted. My mother also only had gaps in her upper front teeth, and when her wisdom teeth erupted they pushed her upper and bottom front teeth together, eliminating the gaps, but also causing her bottom teeth to become crooked. Waiting for you wisdom teeth to erupt is not the best solution to the gapped teeth, seeing as how they could cause other complications.

Your doctor can give you the details, but the gaps will slowly fill in with gum, and your teeth will likely not move.
How long does it take for retainers to fix gaps in between teeth?
If you where your retainer all day every day for two weeks your teeth will start to shift back to that pretty smile you had when you took of your braces. Though wearing the retainer every night after theres a gap takes a lot longer. A few months even. I suggest if you do not want to wear your retainer during the day. That your wear it every night and every evening that your just around the house or every morning that your just around the house. Unless your in a hurry in the morning to leave to go somewhere keep it in after you wake up. THE LONGER YOU WHERE THE RETAINER IN YOUR MOUTH THE QUICKER IT WILL TAKE TO FIX THE GAP!
