Will I Have To Wear The Invisalign Retainer During the Day Forever?

August 31, 2011
Asked By:Daniel S in East Brunswick, NJ

After going through braces, my first retainer was an Invisalign that I wore during the night. I chewed through it due to my teeth grinding problem. From then on during the night, I have been wearing a night guard made of thicker material to prevent my teeth grinding. During the day I have to wear my Invisalign retainer, apparently for the rest of my life. Is there a retainer I can wear during the night (metal one?) rather than during the day that can also help with my teeth grinding?
