Should I Stop Wearing my Retainer?

November 9, 2012
Asked By:billie81

I had 4 extractions to fix my overcrowding. Now I am very unhapppy with my smile as my teeth retracted way too far in and my teeth almost do not show when I smile.. I am getting depressed looking in the mirror. Should I stop wearing my retainer and if I do so will my teeth move back? And then perhaps get a crown to fill the gap if the teeth move back to previous position?
