Braces gradually move teeth into the correct position, but even after they are removed, teeth are not immediately stable. Without a retainer, teeth can easily shift back into their previous positions. This process of backward movement is called relapse, and it can undo months or years of effort put into correcting the alignment of teeth. Retainers after braces act as a holding device, giving these tissues time to remodel and harden around the newly aligned teeth. Without a retainer, teeth would naturally begin to shift back into their previous positions because the tissues have not fully adapted to the new position. 2024-10-21 at 14:05:30

Teeth have a natural tendency to shift, especially after they have been moved from their original position. 2024-10-21 at 14:06:04
