Can you straighten your teeth by pushing on them?!


Question: Can you straighten your teeth by pushing on them.?
My aunt, always told me that when i wake up in the morning, because my mouth has been closed for so long, that my gums are really mushy and loose and I can push my teeth into a position that I want them to be in, if i do it everyday
is this true.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I used to wonder this too when I was a little girl! But no, you cannot push your teeth into a position that you want them to be in because the amount of force and time that you would have to do this in order to see a change would be impossible. That's why people wear braces for years. Because there is a constant push and pull on the teeth at all times so the teeth can re-establish roots and bone. You would have to have your fingers in your mouth literally CONSTANTLY pushing for your teeth to adjust. And even if you do push hard enough to move your teeth, they will most likely just go back to the way they were before. That's why people wear retainers after braces.

Hope I helped!
