Hello doctor,
Four years ago, I got my teeth straight from a dental clinic using some braces. At the end of the treatment, they asked me to wear some teeth clips so that there would not be any gap formation. But as I have not followed it well there are some gaps in my teeth. So I want to know if there is a natural treatment like using some teeth clips to correct them and how much it will cost.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You should have followed your dentist's advice and used retainers a little longer to avoid the relapse you are going through now. For now, I suggest you make an appointment with the same dentist if possible and ask if the relapse can be managed with the help of removable retainers. Your orthodontist might ask for a full mouth x-ray OPG (orthopantomogram) to compare pre and post-op teeth movements as well as the relapse in these years, get that done, and most probably removable retainers will do the needful. Take action as soon as possible. I hope my answer was helpful to you. Do revert back for more information and details.
Thank you.
