Definitely ask ... and hopefully it will be possible!![]()
So 2 weeks ago I got my braces off, but had no retainer and just yesterday I got a retainer but my teeth had moved alot and it didn't fit amazingly (but started to fit). Because of this, they gave me an appointment in 2 weeks to get a new retainer. I COULD phone them up and say it has started to fit, but i might take advantage of this opportunity
I drew a little diagram on paint to help you understand and i was thinking I could take this into the ortho when i go, but dont want to embarass myself as they might not be able to change my retainer.
That's the way it was when I got my braces off (left picture - and the arrow on the right picture indicate the change i want, as the tooth is a bit squint) but i could ask them "could you ask the lab [people who make the retainers] to change it a little to make it alot tighter on just one tooth" pictured above. Is this as rediculous as I'm thinking it is??

After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!
