I have a question...Every last tooth in my mouth is perfectly straight with the exception of my front top two..They are slightly misaligned.....Is the only option to straighten them, braces?....Friends have told me retainers could possibly move them backwards into place....Thats basically all they need to do is move backwards into place.....I just honestly don't find myself being convinced by my dentist that I need braces, because they are far from needed it, Imho...But im not the doctor....Just wonder if retainers even could and do get used to straighten minor cases....

Retainers can be used to correct certain things. I have used a retainer before to fix two teeth that were at a little bit of an odd angle. You should go see an ortho and see what he can do for you!

Ahh ok...So retainers can be used in some cases to align teeth.

hi , yes retainers can help with slight probs , you should see an orthodontist an ask them , my guess would be that braces might be better , hope this helps , (HeadgearJoe )
