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.

Nah I doubt that 2 days I got my braces removed and just yesterday I got my retainers and they told me to wear them for 3 months 24/7 and just take them off when to eat or drink liquids and then after 3 months just wear them at night but maybe by them I won’t need them

i've been wearing my retainers religiously for the past 10 years until this past 6 months or so. it was really relieving knowing i could cut down to a couple times a week thanks to your videos. and as someone with a bonded retainer that both me and my dentist hate, i'm glad to hear that you use them sparingly. i'm hoping to get mine taken off eventually bc it has both inflamed and recessed my gums 😵‍💫

As someone who had braces I can't begin to tell you how important it is to wear the retainers. I was in a dark place when I got my braces removed and I wasn't planning long term. Now my teeth have completely reverted and I'm spiralling down that path again. Think long term because if I want to get it fixed I'll have to pay and it can be expensive. Don't let it happen to you

To be fair, that’s pretty rare. Even ppl who have teeth aligned enough that they never got orthodontic care usually have some crowding on their lower teeth that causes more cavities and more food stuck in it. Also cavities happen to almost everyone.

🚨long story short: pls wear your retainers!!! 🚨 been waiting for a video on retainers!!! even tho i knew this stuff already lol. i’ve been out of braces since nov 2016. in the beginning, i wore them regularly for the first year and a half. but the last year or two, i really let myself go. teeth didn’t get crooked but definitely were some spaces and immediate regret. my clear retainers haven’t fit for a while. my hawleys still fit after a couple adjustments so i’m working on wearing them again. orajel has become my best friend bc the pain was unbearable once i put them back in. i also have a bonded retainer which i’ve broken SO many times over the years, especially in the beginning. was doing good for a hot minute until the hygienist broke it in september :) got it fixed and then i somehow broke it again in october. which is what landed me back in the orthodontist and storms (i live in nwa so i’m sure you’re familiar with him lol) is making me wear my retainers every night now 😔😔

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.

As someone who had braces for 2.5 years and got them off 15 years ago: WEAR YOUR RETAINER! I wore my upper (clear) more and for longer than what I was told (like Bentist said, we knew less then), and my teeth haven't shifted! Anecdotal evidence, I know. I also have the bond retainer on my lower teeth, and stopped noticing it eons ago. And my teeth haven't moved! Yay! Just be extra careful when brushing around the retainer. 🙂

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.

Blame it on aging, and child bearing.... but it sucks wearing braces as an adult and mama of 3... i will be opting for either the tray or the hawley retainer this time ;(

But also, I've stepped on my retainer, forgotten it on vacation, lost it (currently dont know where it is but I gave up on it cause it's beyond hope and I'll need braces again when I can care for my teeth better), and it also had a massive hole through the top.

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!
