What is retention? How long do I need to wear retainers?
After braces are removed a retainer is worn to prevent your teeth from moving back towards their original position. Retainers provide assurance that your teeth will stay in perfect alignment while your jaw continues to grow. The longer you wear your retainer, the better your chances that your teeth will remain straight.
