HUG!!! Depends on why you needed them in the first place, but whatever the reason they wouldn't move back except over a long period of time.

if its just six weeks it will be fine... I was supposed to wear my brace almost all the time but I refused to wear it during the day... and stopped wearing it too early but my teeth are ok shockingly. Nothing will happen in six weeks you'll be fine :)

I've had braces for 4 years, and when my braces came off, I had to wait two weeks before getting my retainer. Your teeth won't go back to the way they were! They will shift a little, so the retainer will be tight and will probably give you a headache the first couple of days you wear it. I'd suggest talking to your orthodontist and trying to get in sooner for your comfort. If that can't happen, don't worry! You will be fine! I hope this helps! Congrats on getting them off! :D

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
