How long do you have to wear retainers?

  • i just got my braces off and im curious on how long i will have to wear them, how many years? why do some people wear retainers 24/7, while i only have to them up to 14 hours a day? im just curious

  • Answer:

    every orthodonist/dentist probably does it differently, but i had to wear my retainer for six months 24/7 and then only at night for another six months. that seems to be pretty much the norm.

For the first 6 months, you have to wear them 24/7. Then after than, you have to wear them at night for the rest of your life. Just to be sure your teeth won't move.
