My braces came off 2 years ago after 2.5 years - I wore my retainers for a year. Hawleys, top and bottom. Then nights only ever since.
They finally collapsed and I stopped wearing them. Not bad going!
I think I have had some movement, very minor, and also notice my molars on the left dont touch! The right touches and not the left. Also I think my front teeth are too far forward of my lowers - just a feeling
Now I moved from NY to FL...
Do you think I have to go to a new ortho or should I fly up and see the old guy?
Your thoughts?
Question for the knowledge trust

Well it's not that easy
I'm about 20 miles west of Jacksonville
I had some implants done since my braces so the original molds don't apply.
I called my ortho and I am going up to NJ for a check up. He thinks that any movement I may have occurred will be sorted out by retainers. He thinks it's not as bad as I do!
However I'm working in Asia and will only get to him in September!
Now I could go to one of those quaint ortho shops in Thailand and have them sort me out... I have seriously thought about it! Then decided against it!
