Question:
How many minutes does it take for teeth to shift if you dont wear your retainers?
Im wearing retainers right now and i was just wondering approximately how many minutes it would take for teeth to shift just incase i dont wear them in the day time.
Answers:
I really don't think you have to worry about it too much. When you put the retainer on after after a day, you'll feel how tight the retainer feels. If the retainer feels the same , I imagine they didn't move much. Anyway, the idea is for them to sort of cement themselves in one position.But if there is room for the teeth to shift, they will ,without the support of the retainer. I wore a retainer deligently in my late 20's. Now, 30 years later, my teeth in front, have a space, something I never had before. My teeth moved, because there was a lot of room to move!But they are still straight.
