How long can I keep my retainer out?!


Question: How long can I keep my retainer out!?
I just got my braces off today and I got a retainer on my top teeth!. How long can I keep the thing out of my mouth without my teeth moving!? I asked the orthodontist how long I could keep hit out, and he just said "I don't know!."!. I said "Could I have it out for an hour!?" and he said "An hour would probably be fine!. Just don't overdo it!."!.

First he said that I can only take it out for a little while to eat, then he said an hour would be fine!. I couldn't get a straight answer!. What can I REALLY do!? I hate this thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
For initial 6 months you have to wear them day and night except during meal time!. After that you wear them only at night!. For more information on retainers after braces, you can visit the following very informative website
