What are the ways to manage an orthodontic relapse?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had a braces treatment for protruded teeth three years ago. The two premolars in the upper jaw were removed. After the completion of the treatment, I was asked to wear retainers. I did not wear them properly. Now, my teeth look protruded again. Can this be corrected? Kindly help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. Yes, the relapse can be corrected. As you have undergone braces treatment previously, I suggest you go for clear aligners and retainers later. I also suggest you consult a dentist to discuss the treatment plan.
I hope this helps you.
Thank You.
