In middle school I had braces to fix spacing and an overbite. When I got them off (about 10 years ago) I got two dental implants (the teeth next to my front teeth). I had a retainer for the bottom (which I stopped wearing after about a year) but nothing for the top because I was told the implants would act as one. Needless to say my bottom teeth are even more spaced out now than they were pre-braces, my overbite is back, and now a few spaces are forming on the top as well!
