[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cant say what's normal or not, but my teeth ended up shifting in my teen years and it kind of feels like all the ortho work was pointless! I'm sure it wasn't and I'm still better off, but I can absolutely see why they may want to wait for some things. [/quote] Your teeth shifted because you didn't wear a retainer.[/quote] Nope, I did wear a retainer. Removeable for the top and a glued one on my bottom front teeth. You don't wear them indefinitely though, and they eventually shifted. [/quote] Yes, actually, retainers are supposed to be worn indefinitely. They should also be updated every few years. The teeth will move if a retainer isn’t being worn most nights. [/quote] The rec for my kid was 12-18 mons. I don't know any kids that wear them indefinitely. [/quote]
