Had braces as a teenager, and your teeth have moved?

This is one of the most common reasons adults look into clear aligners. Teeth can keep moving throughout life. If retainers weren't worn after braces, or were lost or broken years ago, teeth often drift back. Slight crowding of the front teeth, or a gap opening up again, are typical examples.

Movement after earlier treatment is often mild, and mild cases are the kind clear aligners are commonly used for. Only a dentist can confirm that after examining you, but it's well worth asking. Tell your dentist about your earlier treatment, and bring anything you still have, such as old retainers, if that's easy.

Keeping your new smile in place

Whatever treatment you have, retainers are what keep teeth where they've been moved to. After clear aligner treatment, your dentist will usually recommend a removable retainer, a thin fixed wire bonded behind the front teeth, or both. Many dentists now advise wearing retainers long term, often at night, because teeth naturally tend to move. If it happened to you once, it's worth making sure it doesn't happen again.

• Ask whether retainers are included in your treatment price
• Ask how often to wear them, and for how long
• Ask what a replacement costs if one is lost or damaged
• Keep them in their case, never wrapped in a tissue
• Take them to your dental check-ups so their fit can be checked
