Re: retainers - do you wear one?

When did you get your braces off? 16

How old are you now? 23

Do you still wear your retainer? Barely. I never really wore it when I got them off.

If you don't, have your teeth moved/changed back to what they were? YES. And it's driving me crazy. I don't think they'll go all the way back because my teeth were a hot mess, but I can tell they've moved. So I try to wear my top one, that keeps them normal for like a day, but my bottom doesn't fit so they end up meshing back together with the bottom ones.

If you do, how much longer do you plan on wearing it? I feel like only wearing the top one is an exercise in futility. I haven't decided if I'm just going to let them go and hope they don't get too bad, or go to the orthodontist soon and see if I can get them straightened back out without getting braces again (hello Invisalign).
