Suggest Treatment For Crooked Teeth
I had braces for nearly 2 years, I wore my retainers for a year and a half but stopped wearing it. My bottom teeth have now gone squint again (no gaps) and my top teeth have gone slightly squint. Is there anything I can have except braces with the brackets?

hello thanks for the consult at hcm..
You are having relapse of your treatment..You will need permanent retainer which can be placed lingually..either ways your treating orthodontist has to reexamine you and then take a call..
Meantime keep your oral hygiene clean , by brushing the teeth twice daily, do gum massage with the pulp of your fingers,,use chlorhexidine mouth wash if you are not allergic to it..
Please consult your orthodontist asap for further treatment..Do not meddle with it..
Hope it helps,,take care..
