cosmetic surgery is another option you can also try.
I'm happy things are better for you!!!
Sorry it took so long for me to post back. Thank you. Yeah I realized it was just my swollen gums. I used to precipitation mouth wash that my dentist recommended me. The swelling went down and the odor went away and I have def been flossing every night now. My dentist is going to be happy the next time I see him lol. Yeah I am not really sure why I had braces on for that long period of time. I was stubborn when I was younger and just didn't wear my elastics like I was suppose to and so that's why it took a longer process for my teeth to move.
Thanku for givind thi usefull information.
Eight years is an unusually long time to have braces, so taking very good care of your teeth while the braces were on is imperative. A foul odor usually means there is decay but it can also be caused by plaque or food caught between the gum and tooth causing the swelling...and this needs to be addressed. A cavity and a rotting tooth ARE the same thing.You need to stop using mouthwash so much...using it this often can create problems instead of helping. Floss every night, carefully but thoroughly. Keep your retainer very clean as well as your teeth. Use a soft toothbrush and brush gently but thoroughly so you don't injure the gums. I would see your dentist to determine exactly what is going on.
You should floss more and you should see your dentist asap as you dont want an absess to form.
