Will Wearing Retainers Cause Teeth To Buck Once Again?
So, I had braces for approximately 3 and a half years, the reason why I got said braces was because of my tonsils.
Well, when I was about..10 or so, I got them removed and got braces due to the overbite because of the tonsils causing me to breathe wrong, and I also had a small jaw, as a child.
Well, after I had gotten my braces removed, I wore my retainer for a month (it was lost, and never found), and also had about four to five teeth removed before I even got braces.
Will this cause my teeth to buck once again? Or should I not be worried? A small overbite is fine, but I'd rather not look like a "beaver" again.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
You are wearing braces and then retainer from few years , and for that Orthodontic treatment you had been undergone through extractions of your few teeth , fine
You have mentioned that you have problem of Overbite, and small jaw , dont worry much , I will suggest you that if you are wearing braces, had extractions have retainer also then go for Complete Orthodontic treatment , dont leave it in between latter on if you have increased Overbite then you can have problem of attrition , senstivity, many more so it is better you go for orthodontic treatment.
Hope this will help you.
