Braces or Retainer
A retainer is a device to keep your teeth from changing position, it does not help to correct a bite or close a gap. Depending on your x-rays, photos, and facial charting you may or may not need braces. Some patients can use just a bite-block, while some needs to do braces even after biting on a bite-block.
