Teeth Relapse After Braces: Causes, Diagnosis, and 14-Day Recovery Plan for Crowded Lower Teeth
Quick visual observations (what the photo suggests)
-
Lower anterior crowding: the six lower front teeth are pushed/overlapped and rotated — a classic relapse after braces when retainers aren’t worn.
-
Incisal wear/chipping on some lower incisors (flat, shorter edges) — likely from abnormal contact or grinding.
-
Yellowish deposits near the gumline on some teeth — looks like plaque/tartar (calculus) buildup.
