Molar Band Spaces after Removal of Braces?

I had my braces removed on December 13th and I had 8 molar bands. I noticed that the removal of the bands left me with spaces between my molars; I have to floss after every meal because food is getting stuck there and I'm frustrated. Will these spaces close with the wearing of my retainers?

    If you have the clear Essix retainers, the space will not close.

    The wire retainers will let them close. Actually a clasp can be placed on the back of those retainers to push the space closed.

    Taking your braces off isn't painful. it will experience extra advantageous soft and slimy, inspite of the shown fact that! And for the molar bands, it would not harm the two. they have their specific the kind to get rid of each and every thing and if there would desire to be no issues, it may well be very almost painless.

    i'm sure the retainers have something to do with it. they can adjust a retainer so it will continue to move your teeth around.
