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.

Nothing wrong with talking about it here.

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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
