i think it depends on your dentist. i have my braces for more than a year already but can't proceed with having retainers for the reason that my bite is still not normal. my dentist told me that it depends on how fast your teeth respond on the braces.

I'm an orthodontist in Surrey, B.C. The amount of time you must wear a retainer really varies by person. Some people need to wear it for a few months every day, all day and then only at night for the rest of the year. Others, who's teeth begin to move back to where they were prior to braces might have to wear their retainer for years, however, at night only.

Hello,
I think that the situation of using retainers is depends upon the time consumed by your teeth to repositionized well.

I've noticed several patients who have to have orthodontic treatment for a second time because of not wearing their retainers. Many of them choose Invisalign the second time because it is more comfortable and is removable.

After your braces you need retainers, you have to wear it 24/7 normally 3-6 months or until your bite stabilises.
