If I Got my Braces off Six Years Ago and Just Recently Lost my Hally Retainer Should I Get a New One? Will my Teeth Shift?

Asked By:LostRetainer

I've been really diligent about wearing my retainer at night for that entire time and my teeth haven't moved. I just don't know if I should get a new one or if my teeth will stay where they are supposed to without it.
