So I had braces for 15 months, I think 3 years ago. I had one problem tooth at the time, which has since completely returned back to it's original shape. The ortho wanted to put in a permanent retainer (metal behind my teeth) and I didn't think I wanted that, so I refused. If I buy a new retainer, won't my teeth just stay in their current state? Or can I still have straight teeth?
