For adults and teenagers with mild to moderate crooked teeth, gaps or crowding. More complex cases are sometimes possible too, but the dentist or orthodontist assesses that based on a scan.

Yes. Without a retainer (fixed wire or removable tray) teeth can shift back. Your dentist advises how long and how often you should wear it.
