One thought on “How Long Should You Wear Your Retainer at Night?”
Arti says:
Remember that you will always be at risk of relapse if you do not wear it at least semi-routinely. It’s necessary to wear a retainer indefinitely after braces or orthodontic appliances have been removed. But over time, you won’t necessarily need to wear your retainer all day long. Wearing a retainer after Invisalign treatment is almost identical to wearing one after traditional orthodontic therapy. If you’re instructed to wear your retainer at night, it’s best to plan on wearing it every night. But if it’s been years since you’ve had your braces removed, it may be possible to get away with wearing your retainer just 1-2 nights a week. Although patients are required to wear their retainer full-time in the first 6 months, most individuals will be able to wear it at night or less frequently the more that time passes by. Althoug
