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? |

I'm pretty sure it'll go back to the way it was if you wear it everyday before bed. I mean, they do still fit you.

Yeah you should wear it at night everyday for atleast 2 weeks or so. Then your teeth can get used to it again. After that, if your teeth didn't or doesn't shift that much.. just wear it 2 or 3x a week at night when you sleep. some orthodontists recommend wearing it for life. how often do you guys replace your retainer? I know it can get dirty sometimes and brushing doesn't always work. If you put it in hot water, it'll melt |
