Crowns and retainers: Do you think that is going to affect the alignment of my teeth?

Question

I just got a crown placed on tooth 26. I had my braces removed in November, and have since been wearing a retainer full time. The dental office cut the last four teeth on that sided my retainer because with the crown it no longer fits. They cannot make me a new one until ten days from now. Do you think that is going to affect the alignment of my teeth since I just had braces removed not too long ago?

If you have an upper retainer, the alignment should be okay.  If not, then please address this issue to your dentist who is making you the new retainer.  You may want to also let your orthodontist know if it was someone else who did your braces in the first place.
