Is 2 week gap between removing braces and getting retainers ok? How fast do the teeth move in general?

Posted by admin as Cosmetic Dentistry

I am getting my braces off and because of some constraints I NEED to get my braces off on a certain date. The ortho told me that the teeth could move in the 2-week time window where I get the braces off and get my new retainer. Do teeth really relapse THAT quickly?

If they do move then your retainers will make them back to the way they were they take the impressions right when you get them off. You’ll be fine! congrats on your new smile!

How do braces work in correcting your teeth?

It's possible, yes. I just had a temporary crown pop out and was told that waiting the two and a half weeks to get the permanent crown put in would not suffice. My teeth could and probably would shift and then I would have to have the permanent re-sized and made.

They do, but just a tiny little bit. You probably won't even notice it. Just once you get the retainers, wear them religiously, and they will put your teeth right back where they're supposed to be and keep them there.

Oh, i thought you were going to ask compeltely the opposite. I thoguht that yoiu meant you didn't thnik getting retainers two weeks later is too early.

Well actually, in 2 weeks, your teeth will move. a lot. when my cousin didn't wear her retainer for a bout a week, her teeth moved, and it was noticeable.
