Q.
Hi Dr Manoloutsou. I had train track braces when I was a little girl and got really bullied because of them but unfortunately they were the only ones my mum could afford. It has been about 10 years since I had them removed and I can see my teeth sliding back to their old position. I don’t want to go through wearing fixed braces again and I could just need a quick fix or a bonded retainer perhaps? Is there anything you can suggest please? Thank you for your time, I await your advice.

Hi there! If you would like to try and prevent any further movement then a fixed retainer should be placed if there is enough space on the bite. If you would like to correct the position of the teeth, then Invisalign could be an option, but a retainer will be necessary after the completion of the treatment, as the teeth do have the tendency of moving back. I really hope that helps and good luck!
