After invisalign would I have to wear a retainer forever? I have a gap and my front left tooth is crooked. Many people includeing my bf say that I shouldnt even bother my teeth because he thinks that they are fine (he had really bad teeth, like horrible when he was younger and i believe had to wear braces for like 3 years or more, so he wants me to stay away from anything that does something to your teeth). I want my teeth straight, but my only problem is I read someone's review and they said that they have to wear a retainer forever. I don't mind having to wear them for a while, but I really don't want to wear them forever, if i have to ask a ortho, could they be able to tell me if i have to wear it forever before they even start me with invisalign because I really don't want to?
Answer: How long to wear a retainer after Invisalign? Hello there,You would have to wear the retainer indefinitely. Another option would be having a permanent piece of wire placed behind your teeth that would keep your teeth aligned and prevent the need for a retainer. That area would be more likely to gather food and subsequently bacteria growth, so it would require extra special care to keep clean.

Answer: Alternative to Invisalign will not requir long term retention. First, you are a very pretty women just as you are. If you do want to improve your smile I suggest instead of moving teeth you consider orthopedically growing your jaw using the DNA Appliance and Epigenetic Orthodontics. The DNA is only worn 12-14 hours a day and does not need lifetime retention.It will also help the dark areas under your eyes.It will create a wider fuller smile as well.

Answer: Retainers are like Orthodontic Insurance If you would like your teeth to stay perfect after you finish Invisalign, a properly fitting retainer is essential. You don't have to wear the retainer all of the time but at least 3 to 4 nights per week. If you ever see your teeth shifting or space re-opening, then you can increase to 6-7 nights per week. Also, if you do not like wearing the retainer while you sleep, you can wear it during the day instead for around 6-8 hours.
