S.H.
Braces and its effects are not permanent.
Meaning, teeth/the jaw, are always moving. And as a person ages, it shifts too. Still. It is not static.
Hence, a retainer should be worn, for life.
So that the placement of the teeth due to braces, stay somewhat in place.
I had braces for 3 years in middle school.
I still wear a retainer. At night. EVERY night.
Have to.
Otherwise, my teeth, shift.
My Dentist, even said so, and could tell what kind of orthodontic work I had done, and why.... Even though he had never seen me as a patient when I was a child.
So anyway, some adults, as an adult, get braces, again. Because, their teeth shifted.
And yes, sometimes if orthodontic work was not done correctly, or if the teeth shifts afterward, a person may get, jaw problems and alignment problems of their teeth and bite, still.
