    Retainers?

    hiya all,
    i'm new to this but i figured i'd give it a go?
    right, i got my fixed braces off today (wednesday 13th April 2011) and i'm worried because i don't get my retainers until tomorrow?
    will my teeth move?
    I'd appericiate any comments?

    Totally fine.

    If we have a patient who isn't getting fixed retainers they may have to wait to up to a week to get their retainers. The retainers are made to the mould of the teeth at the time braces are removed, so any small movement is quickly corrected.
    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!
