Do you have to have braces or can you just have a retainer?
Braces are designed to move your teeth into better alignment. A retainer is designed to keep your teeth in their current position following braces. If your teeth are where you want them to be, you do not need braces or a retainer. If they are not, you will need to have them moved with braces followed by a retainer to hold them in place.
If your teeth moved do you you need braces again?
no you don't because just getting a retainer will put your teeth back because you've already had braces.
Why is a retainer used when braces have been removed?
Once the teeth have been moved into their new position, the braces are removed and a retainer is worn until the teeth stabilize in that position. Retainers do not move teeth, they only hold them in place.
