Retainers for life!
After I finished my braces, I got retainers. Now I have been wearing retainers for 1 year and 1 month. Today my Orthodonitcs told me if I want to continue having straigtght teeth, I need to wear the retainers for the rest of my life...2 times a week...
Does anyone else have a similar situation?

Does that mean that you won't use retainers at all?!

it would stink if you finally get your retainer off then get into an accident and need braces again.

Well that's what I thought too icehawk till today...you need to wear retainers all your life or your teeth will shift again...it really depends on your teeth...so you can risk it and find out
