Does wearing a retainer overtime make your face more symmetrical?

Question

Carlos Caballero, DDS, MS · Answer

Hello, Thanks for your question. Unfortunately it does not. A retainer only holds the teeth in place and does not affect growth or symmetry.Have a wonderful week!

Wearing your retainer more than you're supposed will not hurt things, but it won't change your face.  Retainers are designed to only hold your teeth in position after orthodontics and not much more.
