Frequently asked questions
What is meant by an orthodontic relapse?
Orthodontic relapse refers to the undesirable shifting or movement of teeth back to their original, misaligned positions after the braces are removed. Relapse occurs as tissues surrounding the teeth, including the periodontal ligaments and bone, tend to have memory and elasticity that allow the gradual shift of teeth to their original position.
What causes relapses after receiving orthodontic treatment successfully?
Causes of orthodontic relapse include not wearing retainers, inadequate use of retainers, not following post-treatment instructions, changes in facial structure with ageing, and individual genetics. The severity of relapse can vary from minor tooth movement to more noticeable shifts.
Is it possible to reverse this condition?
Yes, it is possible to gain realignment with orthodontic treatment. Mild relapses can be corrected with the resume of retainer use as directed by the orthodontist. More significant relapses require additional orthodontic treatment to re-align the teeth properly.
What are the signs of an orthodontic relapse?
Signs of orthodontic relapse can include noticeable changes in tooth alignment, spaces reappearing between teeth, bite irregularities returning, or discomfort related to shifting teeth. You may also notice that your retainer no longer fits.
What are the steps you need to take once you notice the relapse?
If you suspect orthodontic relapse, schedule an appointment with your orthodontist promptly. They can evaluate the extent of the relapse and recommend appropriate measures, which might involve providing you with new retainers, adjusting retainer use or considering further orthodontic treatment.
How can you ensure lasting results after treatment?
Following your orthodontist’s post-treatment instructions is crucial. Consistent use of retainers as directed helps maintain the results achieved during treatment, as they prevent teeth from shifting back to their previous positions. Regular dental appointments and treating cavities, preventing decay, restorative treatments, and maintaining healthy gums will preserve your new alignment for longer. Tooth loss can cause teeth to change position.
How do you prevent orthodontic relapse?
Regular retainer wear is the key to preventing relapse. Wear retainers as directed by your orthodontist, especially during the initial period when teeth are most prone to shifting. Gradually, retainer wear schedule will ease. Your orthodontist will recommend either fixed retainers or removable retainers.
Can you wear your old braces or retainers once you notice the relapse?
No, orthodontists do not recommend wearing old braces or retainers, as they may no longer fit properly or effectively. Consult your orthodontist for the most appropriate solution for your specific situation. You may need new fixed braces for shifting teeth that have moved back or removable aligners like Invisalign, depending on the severity of the relapse.
How will orthodontic relapse affect your dental health?
Orthodontic relapse can lead to several dental conditions, including compromised aesthetics, difficulty cleaning shifted teeth, increased risk of cavities, gum disease, potential bite irregularities, and jaw discomfort. It is important to treat orthodontic relapse promptly to prevent these complications.
