Once your braces are removed, the next part of your treatment is called retention. Retainers are designed to retain, or hold your teeth in their straight position. It is very important for you to wear your retainer every night, otherwise your teeth may shift and the benefit of wearing your braces will be lost.
Dr. Hamada recommends that you wear your retainer indefinitely. Consider it your insurance policy that you can rely on to keep your teeth straight. Without it, you risk losing everything you worked so hard to achieve, so don't test it!
