How to Fix Misaligned Tooth from Not Wearing Retainers?

October 13, 2009
Asked By:Rose777 in Australia

I didn't wear retainers, wisdom teeth not taken out, now teeth have moved. I wore my retainer every day/night for a year after my braces were taken off. Then I stopped.Another year later my front tooth has moved forward a little and the tooth next to it has been pushed back. This seems to be because my wisdom teeth are pushing my teeth out-of-line and I (stupidly) stopped wearing my retainer.I plan on getting my wisdoms taken out soon and I'm ok with how my teeth generally look. I'm just not happy with the out-of-line front tooth and the tooth next to it. What should I do to straighten these crooked teeth? I want my teeth to be perfect again!
