Most people who had braces as a teen experience some degree of relapse. It happens. And it's fixable.
Common reasons teeth shift after treatment:
Life gets busy. Retainers get lost. It's the most common reason.
Sometimes the first round didn't fully correct bite issues or underlying problems.
If you had braces as a young teen, continued jaw growth can shift things.
Third molars can put pressure on your other teeth and cause crowding.
Retreatment isn't just "doing braces again." It requires understanding why your teeth shifted in the first place, then creating a plan that addresses the root cause — not just the symptoms.
