  • If your teeth are quite crooked then you could have braces to straighten them out, but if the teeth are slightly crooked some people prefer to leave them that way as it sometimes adds character to that person. If you are young and have teeth over lapping or some are too big the dentist may pull a couple of teeth and then put braces on the patient's teeth.

Retainers are most often used after a stint with braces. Teeth have a tendancy to shift back to their original position and wearing a retainer at night will help keep your teeth in alignment. If you haven't had braces and are slightly overcrowded on the top or bottom a retainer is sometimes used to gently allow the teeth to space apart. If you think you may need a retainer, check with your your orthodontist. If you don't have an orthodontist get a referral from your dentist. Many orthodontists will do a consult for free.

Complain about your teeth You dont. You go to the orthodontist. Actually, it's only NEEDED if you have an overbite or a crossbite or an under bite. Or if you have crooked teeth.
