Question Posted Wednesday February 7 2007, 5:42 pm

I got my braces off in july and i wear my retainer every night and when i remember to around the house but never out. I have noticed a gap forming where the retainer ends on my top teeth, is that normal?

Your retainer could be a bit loose. Go back to your orthodontist and he will tighten it in seconds. It happened to me, too.
Sadly though, sometimes after braces, teeth do start to move back to their original position slightly - even if you do wear a retainer.

i have had to wear a retainer all the time when i was smaller. but no thats not normal you need to go see a dentist and tell him about it and let him have a look at it. he may possibly work on the retainer or make a new one. try wearing it all the time that you are suppose to for a few weeks first to see if the gap disapears.
