It's been almost a year and I'm still wearing my retainer at night. I haven't had to buy a new one yet so I'm guessing they last a while. When I put them in at night I feel a little pressure from my bottom tray. I guess my bottom teeth really want to "relapse". But I know from previous experience how important it is to wear your retainer!

I finally got my invisalign retainers a few days ago and I didn't have to pay for it which was pretty cool. When I put them in they were TIGHT! But that's what I expected since before I only had partial trays which were flimsy and I only wore them at night. He wants me to only wear my retainers at night too, but since they are so tight I am wearing them day and night until they fit comfortably. My bottom teeth actually seem even straighter since these are more rigid than regular trays. SO I'm all done now, it went by fast, and it was worth it!
P.S. I'm trying to take clear pics of my teeth.

So I had my dentist appt to get my buttons removed a few days ago. The back teeth on my left side have gone back down but the right side still isn't down all the way. Since my back teeth are not fully together yet he wants me to discontinue wearing my trays during the day and only wear them at night..I'm not sure how long he wants me to do that.
He said that my front teeth were hitting too hard when I bite down, so he gave me the option of wearing my partial trays for longer and see if that fixes it or shaving the back of my top 2 front teeth a little to solve the issue. I opted for the teeth shaving, and my bite felt more comfortable after he did it. He also removed my buttons - yay!
When I got there I asked if they ordered my retainers yet and they said they hadn't yet because they were going to take impressions first and send them to invisalign. I wasn't fond of this answer because my partial trays are flimsy and I feel like my teeth have shifted. So I voiced my concern and he decided not to do impressions and just have invisalign make my retainers based on my last set of trays. He said it would be 7-10 business days for them to get them so I'm going back in 2 weeks.
Since I'm not wearing my trays during the day, when I put them in at night my lower tray is TIGHT! Also I was just trying to take pictures of my teeth and it looked liked a bottom tooth was already shifted a little. But since the retainer I'm getting is duplicating my last tray I'm not worried.
