Lost my retainers and afraid of the consequences!?!


Question:

Lost my retainers and afraid of the consequences!?

I had to wear braces for about 9 months only cause my canines were out and my teeth were aligned like half of a square instead of U. I removed my braces 4 months back. I lost my retainers 2 weeks ago (it went in the trash can and to the dump) I am afraid that my teeth will come out esp. my canines. I have a feeling that It already slightly has (but maybe i am wrong cuz i keep thinking about it and it looks lk its moved to me)

So do i need to get new retainers? Or wearing it for 4 months is enough and that it wont move.
I could go to the dentist but I am scared what he might say and ofcourse he will say to get a new one cuz we'll pay him.

Thanks in advance!


Answers:

you deffinetely need to go an get new retainers, it's in your best interest...you teeth will most proably have moved already but unless you want them to return to where they were i'd be getting new ones. 4 months is no where near long enough, you need to wear them for about 2 years even longer.....so yes go n get new ones....n your orthodontist won't mind
