Once Invisalign treatment is complete is a retainer necessary?
Wearing a retainer after any orthodontic treatment is an important step, because it keeps teeth stable in their new positions. If you want your teeth to remain in their ideal position for the rest of your life, it is best to wear a retainer as directed by your dentist or orthodontist. In many cases your last aligner will be your temporary retainer, your dental practitioner can advise you on longer term retention options.
