Q. I have come to the end of my treatment, and I am not happy with the results despite being given a couple of extra retainers. The practioner says there is nothing more to do, and i believe i was missold this treatment. However, i went for my final appointment on 20th oct 2010, and they have still not given me my retainer. I have worn the last tray, but feel my teeth have moved forward again. Can this happen with such a delay? I called them and they said they forgot to call me and have booked me in next week. Thanks,
A. Dear Sir/Madam, it is up to you and the dentist to come to an agreement as to when your treatment is complete, you may be looking at the same thing in 2 different ways. Sometimes teeth are straight but do not feel it as some teeth may be of different shapes, widths and even ;lengths. The teeth can shift a little, but will revert back once retainers are fitted. See if your dentist and you can pinpoint which teeth need looking at, and just adjusting the shape, which is what you started with can make all the difference. Dr R Kumar BDSLDSRCS
