After orthodontic treatment, the teeth may rebound. After removing the orthodontic treatment, the teeth may return to the previous position. We call it rebound. If orthodontic professional terms are used, it is called recurrence. Therefore, after orthodontic treatment, the patient is required to wear the retainer correctly. The purpose of wearing the retainer is to minimize rebound and minimize recurrence. Of course, there are also cases where the patient's malocclusion is caused by bad habits. In this case, if the bad habits still exist after corrective treatment, the probability of showing rebound will be higher.
