Will my teeth shift if i don't wear my essix retainer for 2 hours then i put!


Question: hello. i got my braces off december 10, the same day i got my essix retainer. The dentist told me to wear it 24/7 and only to take it off when i have meals and when I have drinks. I am following that rule, however; today when i had lunch, i took them off. I didn't put them on for approximately 1 hour 30 minutes or 2 hours. Then I put them back on. Is this ok? Will my teeth shift? That night when i got my essix retainer i felt that my teeth are sore. I am wearing them regularly. Today when I put them on, i had that feeling like that my teeth are moving, but i don't think so. But if they did, and i wore them 24/7 each day, can they get back into their positions?

Your teeth might shift, but once you put your essix back in they will move right back to the place they were to begin with : )
