Teeth Moved After Braces or Aligners?

You are not alone.

This issue is far more common than most people realise. One of the main reasons teeth move out of alignment after orthodontic treatment is when retainers are not worn consistently or are used incorrectly. Over time, this can cause teeth to gradually shift back to their original position.

Unfortunately, once teeth begin to move, they do not fix themselves. The longer it is left untreated, the more crooked the teeth can become, increasing the complexity, duration and cost of future treatment.

The good news is that if the problem is detected early, it can often be corrected more quickly, easily and affordably. At Tooth Heaven, our friendly and experienced team welcomes patients from all areas who need help restoring their smile after previous orthodontic treatment. We regularly assist patients whose teeth have relapsed after braces, Invisalign or other orthodontic procedures performed elsewhere.

Our goal is to make the process as simple and stress free as possible. We will carefully assess your smile, explain your options and create a personalised plan to help you regain a straight and confident smile once again.

Do not wait until the problem gets worse. Contact the team at Tooth Heaven today and let us help you bring your smile back into perfect alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Why are my teeth shifting again after braces or aligners?
Answer: Teeth can drift when retainers are not worn properly or at all. This is common and often worsens over time. Early attention makes retreatment easier, faster and more cost effective.

Question: Is relapse after orthodontic treatment common?
Answer: Yes. Even years later teeth may shift without retention. Many patients experience relapse if retainers are not consistently worn to stabilise the new alignment.

Question: What should I do if my teeth are moving back?
Answer: Do not wait for things to get worse. If caught early, retreatment is simpler and more affordable. At Tooth Heaven we are experts at fixing relapsed teeth from past orthodontics. Just give our team a call and we will guide you.
