My dentist told me i needed it only at night... and she told me that i should have it on as long as i can .... 2 years ago.
I was never too strict to myself about it... and havent been diligent for more than 1.5 years. So what should I do? Do you think it'll help to start frmo now? Cuz it still mostly fits... Do you think my teeth will go back without my having to go back to the orthodontist? |

My orthodontist told me to wear it around 3 times a week for a while, but after that she told me I could pretty much where it whenever I wanted (and also told me that I didn't need check-ups anymore). Your teeth will have shifted for sure, but it won't be a huge deal if you can still "mostly" fit it. If you're really concerned, just keep wearing your retainer for a while, maybe every other day or something. You should feel like it's a tight fit, but when you wake up in the morning your teeth will have moved slightly, so they might feel a little sore. Keep at it though. When you feel comfortable again, start wearing it once a week or so...which is how often I wear it now.
