My girls braces were remved 6 mnths ago noticed that 1 tooth shifted and they were unable to fix with adjust retainer. She wore her's all the tim so did not happen because she didn't wear them. Had to fight to get him to fix w/out rechrg for braces again. I paid 6,000 with braces/expander. Is it right tht he will only allow her 6 months for teeth to correct and then begin charging me 100.00 there after if nec. Is this really how it shoud behandled. Pls adv me i feel this is really bad bus. Thnks

Your bottom teeth will never be straight on their own. If anything the overlapping will get worse as you get older.
This can be treated with traditional braces or Invisalign.
I would make an appointment with an orthodontist or a certified Invisalign provider for a consultation.
I agree that you should first consult with your dentist on what he/she says about how they plan to prevent relapse in your case.
But it is also important to wear your retainers as much as possible after your treatment. I say this to all of my ortho patients. It might seem silly at first, but...
The purpose of a retainer is simply to hold things in place, not move them. While your retainer (more likely a functional appliance) may seem to have this effect, its effects are likely minor and not permanent.
The only real way to treat you would be braces again combined with surgery...
