How long do you need to wear a retainer after braces come off?!


Question: How long do you need to wear a retainer after braces come off.?
Answers:
for every person it is going to vary mostly because it depends on how much movement was done to the mouth overall. you will need to wear it until the bone that supports your teeth have grown in fully to make sure that your teeth will not shift back. A lot of people can end up with a permanent retainer wire in the inside of the lower front teeth after going through the removable retainer phase to further ensure no movement of the teeth. I know you wanted someone to say 1 year or 6 months or whatever but it truly does depend on the person but you're looking at ranges of 6 months to 3 years.Health Question & Answer

I have heard it is important to wear them for two years after getting your braces off, sometimes after the two years, at night for most your life. I believe it is mostly just a case by case basis. Depends on the person. :)Health Question & Answer
