I had braces put on about three years ago, and wore them for about 16 months. When they came off i had retainers, and wore them all the time, except when eating. Almost exactly a year after i went back to the orthadontist and he told me to start wearing them every other night until i no longer needed them, or to wait until i was ready, and took me off the list - my treatment was over. It didn't work right away so i carred on wearing them, and wore them for another seven months (but i was more free than before, to try and ween myself off of them) before i had to stop altogether. Now though it feels like my teeth are going back to how they were. I did everything i was supposed to. If they go back all the way it will be a complete waste of three years, but although there's obviously a slight difference, other people say i'm just paranoid. Is it likely they'll relapse completely?
