Orthodontic retainers are primarily designed to do what the name implies, namely, "retain" the teeth in their current positions. If the particular appliance has some sort of adjustment mechanism that can be tightened, and thereby apply forces to the teeth to move them, then it it not a true "retainer." It is advisable to seek the services of a dental specialist called an orthodontist to move your teeth. When teeth are moved, the occlusion, or biting forces in the mouth are affected. This needs to be monitored closely because improper occlusion can result in severe long-term problems, such as premature and severe wear of the teeth, and TMJ (jaw joint) pain and damage. It is important to avoid these problems because sometimes they are not reversable, and they are always expensive and time-consuming to correct.
