Permanent Retainer is Not Keeping Permanent Crowns Together?

February 21, 2013
Asked By:msmiller

Permanent retainer is not keeping permanent crowns together. Prior to the crowns the permanent retainer held my real teeth together. Then I had veeners, the permanent retainer held it together fine. The retainer has been adjusted many times and is allowing the 2 top front crowns to stay together.

how many times should i let my dentist "adjust" my teeth?
