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? |

usually your teeth can shift back to normal if you start using your retainers regularly again, but make sure if they fit properly. you'll definitely feel sore, like gigi said.
i'm really paranoid about my teeth shifting, so i still wear my retainers every night

If you need a case, just go ask an orthodontist.
