Two front teeth already moved
Yesterday I had my braces removed after 5 long years! I had molds taken for a Hawley Retainer and will go back in 6 days to pick it up. For the time being I have no retainer. In the past 24 hours my teeth have already moved (there is a small, but noticeable space between my two front teeth) I know that movement happens during this time, but is this too much movement in too short a period of time? Thanks.
My teeth moved within a day of having my braces off and I didn't get my retainers until 28 days after debanding. I was worried about the shifting too...
The retainers can correct the shifting and if there is excessive movement, active wires can be placed into the retainer to move teeth as needed. Now that I have my retainers almost everything has moved back to where it should be. My lower centrals are slightly out of alignment and my ortho said he can add a wire at my next visit if the retainer doesn't correct it. On the top I have a wire that successfully pushed my right lateral forward into alignment. It hurt like braces, but it worked!

I don't get this either. Got my braces off in the morning, retainers for top and bottom in the afternoon. A week later I had a permanent one put on the bottom.
You should get your retainers on the same day, next day at the latest.
