To everyone afraid about “forever”: Im getting my braces off in two weeks. Instead of “forever” think of it this way. You wear the retainers as long as you want straight teeth. Its like staying fit. You choose whether to stay fit or not, you could stop working out, but you wont be as fit. Its the same thing with retainers.

Absolutely hated the bonded retainer, I made my orthodontist take it out after a month. It bugged me & my teeth moved! After having braces for 3 years as an older adult (45-48), I wanted to feel my teeth again, not a piece of metal and I certainly didn’t want my teeth to move. And I’ve said for years that in order to keep straight teeth after braces, that retainer needs to be worn for as long as you want straight teeth. I wear mine about 4 nights a week on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday & Sunday. If I accidentally skip 2 nights in a row, I can feel it the next time I put them in. Also, Polident actually makes retainer cleaner tablets.

You HAVE to wear your retainer EVERY night. Make sure to regularly wash and clean your retainer with water and toothpaste with a toothbrush. Make sure you don't eat anything with your retainer in your mouth, and make sure your teeth have been brushed and you haven't eaten anything before putting your retainer in. You pretty much have to wear your retainer for the rest of your life. Usually for at least 5 hours a night.

I got my braces off 18 years ago (crazy to say that), but I was told to wear my wire retainer full time for 6 months, and at night for 2 years. I also had a permanent (bonded) retainer on the bottom teeth. I wore my upper teeth wire retainer for about 4 months full time, and stopped wearing it during the day right before the school year started at my new school (since I moved), but I continued to wear them at night for 2 years. Since then, my top teeth only shifted a little bit, and that’s when I was still wearing the top teeth retainer every night. But in about 17 years, the top teeth haven’t really shifted much and still look straight. The bottom teeth had the original wired permanent retainer for 18 years and have actually shifted. I think I somehow bent the wire years ago and one of my bottom teeth shifted a little and turned a bit. Aside from that, the bottoms are good too. The top and bottom teeth that shifted are on the same side of my mouth and touch each other, so maybe one affected the other. My teeth have not shifted back to their original position as they were way worse before with an overbite and bad crowding on the bottom before braces. My permanent (bonded) retainer actually finally snapped off this year and my old ortho and I are considering getting me Invisalign to correct the tooth that shifted years ago. I’m not saying don’t wear your retainers for life, but I’m using myself as a case study to show what can happen when you wear your retainers as prescribed back in the day (the 4-6 month full time and 2 years at night). Results may vary. For reference I got the braces on when I was 14 and off when I was 15/16 (about a year and a half) I’m 34 now.

@@victoria8552 You never know, if your teeth are like that because of trauma, maybe the bone memory after a while will go back to what it used to be with retainers? Ask an orthodontist, that’d be an interesting question!

I just got my retainers a week ago, Hawley on top with two pretend “teeth” built in (getting implants later) and clear plastic on the bottom… I’m over it ALREADY. I can’t pronounce words correctly and it rubs underneath my tongue😩 I’d rather have my braces back on… But sidebar*** this is best retainer video I’ve watched on the whole KZbin, thank you !! 👌🏾💯

My mother had braces back in the 70s and she got a bonded retainer. That thing lasted until she was like 55. I honestly don’t know what kind of bonding they used back then but omg it lasted like 40 years

Yes I got mine today. My Orthodontics yay look you don't have braces anymore. Okay but here you go you're going to have to wear this piece of plastic for like 3 months in your mouth which is worse than braces and you can't even talk properly for the time I hate it I can't even take myself seriously when I speak.

Youre really lucky! My teeth move really fast (my horrible crossbite was fixed in two months the orthodontist was shook at the rate) But that means im going to be wearing a retainer religiously 24/7 for the next year after im done with treatment before even thinking of transitioning to wearing it at night only, ive had braces twice so far and this nightmare needs to end

Normally a retainer like that should actually cause a deeper bite not and open bite! More than likely they cut off the back teeth from the retainer and that caused your back teeth to erupt too far! 😳😬

My retainer is different than all of those. It stays in my mouth all day but isn't glued onto the tooth. It actually is kinda like the braces wire, but on the inside of my mouth. It is hooked onto my back tooth all the way around it and I can eat everything with it thankfully. I get it off once I start my second round of braces. I used to be very scared for the second round because the first was painful, but after watching ur videos, I am less scared especially comparing my not so crooked teeth to the ones that are crazy. Thank you bentist!
