Now that your smile is right where you want it to be, let’s keep it that way! At the end of your treatment, you will be provided with a free set of upper and lower retainers. You will wear the retainers in the beginning for 22 out of 24 hours a day for 3 months until your bone adjusts. Then you will wear the retainers every night.
Why You Need To Replace Your Retainers
Single sets of retainers start to become a problem with keeping your smile perfect over time. There’s a number of reasons you may need additional retainers:
-
- It is recommended that you replace your retainer every 2 years.
-
- Due to clenching and grinding your retainer may stretch over time, making it ineffective (sometimes this happens less than every 2 years).
-
- You lost or damaged yours.
-
- You want to keep an extra set at a second location, like your work or a vacation home.
If you stop wearing retainers, you are in risk of your teeth shifting. It’s important to protect your investment by wearing them t night.
