Hello, Ive had braces for six years without dental care because I don''t have insurance, I think Im having early signs of periodontal disease and Im having my braces removed hopefully in the next three months when I pay for my school and have some money left over, my treatment was never finished and I had a tooth removed and the gap is fairly closed but not fully, when i remove the braces will my teeth move back where they were? my front upper teeth have been lose since the start of the treatment, but the rest don''t move, am i going to have to get braces on again when I can afford them? Im scared my teeth will fall off, thank you
I think it would be wise for you to return to your orthodontist and have those braces removed and perhaps he will be able to place a permanent retainer on your two upper front teeth. Then return to your regular dentist for an evaluation of your whole mouth. If you are having a severe gum problem he will recommend that you see a periodontist. If you have any more questions,please don''t hesitate to call our office at:1-888-790-0309.
