Of course now, another dilemma....
Well, as some of you may know, I had my retainer adjusted due to not wearing it for about 4 years and having minor shifting in my front tooth. My Orthodontist shaved it down a bit and pushed the wire inwards so that it would push my tooth back into place. Well, it's pushing my tooth back all right, but it's pushing it back TOO FAR. It's pushing it back so far that it looks like I have a buck tooth due to my other one being normal. I've been wearing it full-time like he told me to, but I'm going to stop if this is how it's going to permanently keep my tooth. I mean, I've only been wearing it a week and I'm past the excruciating pain, but I thought I was doing good for myself by getting it fixed and now it's like I'm screwing it up more than it was before. At least before they still looked normal, I could just feel the shifting with my finger. Now it's visibly noticeable that my one tooth is lower than the other one. Of course since I've only been wearing the retainer for a week, the tooth will shift back quickly but it just bothers me. I can't go back to the orthodontist as taking more time out of work isn't a possibility. Should I just go to nightwear? I'm so torn on what to do...
