Someone told me that if my child gets braces as a young teenager, he will need braces again as an adult. Is this true?

Retreatment is only needed when retainers are not worn as instructed and teeth shift. If a person’s teeth move too much, a tune-up would be recommended to get them back to the finished result. I provide tune-ups at a reduced fee. Most of my patients who have tune-up treatment only need to wear braces for a year or less. When I finish treatment, I place a double retainer to ensure the most stable result-- a wired retainer glued on the back of both upper and lower front teeth, as well as clear, removable aligner retainers.
