Video: Alternative (adult) treatment for retainer-related shifting teeth

Hello , can you please tell me if a soft or hard plastic retainer worn at night while sleeping, will
control my bottom teeth from shifting more. I had my 4 molars removed when I was 15, I am 45 now. My lower front teeth are getting crowded and uneven. Will a plastic guard control further movement if worn at night? ... Visitor from CT (answer)

- Pushing of teeth toward center: I had a lot of back teeth on both sides of the bottom taken out several years ago. My teeth used to be straight. Now they are going inward and pushing out one of my front bottom teeth. Would getting a partial on the bottom help them from pushing the tooth any farther?

- A few months ago, I found out that I was going to need about 4 deep cavities filled in my back molars. Because it would take me quite a while to come up with the money for this, I've been waiting to have it done. Now, one of my teeth is causing me pain, so I am considering having it removed as I do not have the funds for a root canal. My concern is with my teeth possibly shifting. I have never had braces and two of my front teeth have root canals. I'm wondering if I have this tooth removed it will cause my teeth to shift and undo my root canals. Is there a retainer or appliance that I can wear that can stop this from happening? Are Invisalign or braces an option? ... Visitor from PA (answer)
- Shifting - Tooth Movement? I'm 22years old and over the last 3-4 days I have noticed that if I stretch my jaw and then relax it, almost all of my teeth feel as though they are moving very slightly out of place. None of my teeth wobble but it's as though they are locking in and out of place when I stretch my mouth or push my tongue against them. I had 1 Wisdom tooth out last year but still have the remaining 3, although 1 is impacted. My dentist doesn't seem to think it's a problem, but I'm ever so worried about this. Why is this happening? ... Visitor from Hertfordshire, England, UK (answer)
- Teeth Shifting Back: I wasn't very consistent with using my retainer when I first got my braces off. Now, it's three years later and my teeth are practically back to the way they were. I'm not trying to use the retainer again, but it doesn't fit very well. With time, will it start to fit better, or should I go back to my orthodontist? ... Visitor from CA (answer)
- Teeth shifting despite constant retainer use: I got my braces off about 9 years ago, and have been wearing my retainers nightly ever since. My teeth have always had a tendency to feel like they are shifting even after 1 night without wearing it, so I made sure to wear it every night unless there was some reason I couldn't. About 2 months ago I noticed my teeth still felt like they were shifting, and I chalked it up to needing to wear my retainer a few extra hours for a day or two. I have been wearing them about 20 hours a day for the past 2 months because I have noticed no change. They constantly feel like they're shifting, even while the retainers are in. What could be the cause of this? ... Visitor from NY (answer)
