For How Long Do I Need To Wear Retainers?

The question I am answering today is “How long do I need to wear retainers?”

The answer is: optimally you will wear your retainers for the rest of your life. The job of the retainer is to keep your teeth in the proper position. During the course of your life, teeth naturally shift and move. Without the retainer the teeth will move back into the original position and you will once more require orthodontic treatment.
