    Can teeth move even with wearing your retainer?

    I grind my teeth at night. Is it possible that even after getting my braces off and wearing the retainer as directed that my teeth could move back?

    highly unlikely.. but that is why you should still go to your ortho periodically for retention once your braces are off....

    Your teeth look awesome.
