Can Invisalign fix relapse teeth?

Question

Hi, I have used braces for 2 years and they remove it because my teeth is straight now. My dentist gave me a removable retainer to retain my straight teeth. I always wear my retainer except while eating or drinking some juice/soda. But after a month I saw some minimal relapse teeth on my lower jaw. What should I do? Is this normal? Should I use invisalign to fix this relapse? Pls answer! Thanks :) PS: sorry for bad english :)

Hello, Yes invisalign can fix your relapse. However before thinking on that , go back to your specialist for a check up. If you are wearing your retainer faithfully , you should not have any relapse.Best of luck!!

When you have had orthodontic treatment and then allow it to relapse, the teeth do not move bodily out of position.  The roots basically stay in the same place and the tooth twists, leans, or extrudes out of alignment.  Invisalign is great for correcting this, and is so much more comfortable that re-doing the braces.
