Generally, you wear your retainer at all times right after you get your braces off (except for when you're eating). After about 3-6 months, depending specifically on your orthodontist, you switch to wearing the retainer only at night. Then after a year or more, again depending on your ortho, you can stop wearing it all together. You should really ask your orthodontist to be sure when you're supposed to be wearing it though.

Yeah, because if you don't for a while your teeth start to shift back a bit.
if you don't really care about your teeth, then don't wear the retainer, but I suggest that you do because your smile can change a bit, it's slightly harder to chew, and when you do put your retainer back in it, it might pinch your gums which is really uncomfortable. Basically I don't recommend not wearing it at night.

When I got my braces off, I was told by my DDS that I needed to wear it ALL THE TIME. After a while, your dentist may suggest that you only wear it at night. If you don't wear it, your teeth will shift VERY QUICKLY (sometimes overnight)!

genuinely. I positioned on a retainer too, the sparkling ones, via fact I had braces beforehand. I positioned it on a night too, and it hurts at first. it particularly is by technique of the fact your tooth are nevertheless extremely versatile and strikes around lots. it gets greater suitable steadily as you become previous.

Yes, unless the dentist says you don't need to wear them at night.

No, it is not a good idea beause it will do some damage to your teeth. Just take it off when you go to ed, and in the morning, put it back on.

Idon't think so but I don't have a retainer so I'm taking a wild guess.
I wouldn't because your mouth would get irratated .
