Will my Teeth Relapse After Braces Are Off?

April 22, 2013
Asked By:bmueller

I have an overbite and an open bite. After the braces come off, how do I know the teeth won't try to go back to where they were before? During treatment, they have been really stubborn, wanting to go back to an overbite/openbite as soon as elastics are taken off and I'm worried I'm just doing all of this to have it relapse in the end.
