So I've worn my retainers for about 6 months... Now what?!


Question: So I've worn my retainers for about 6 months... Now what?
My orthodontist told me to wear my retainers for 6 months, 24/7, unless eating or doing sports.
I got my braces off sometime in October so that's 6 months. My orthodontist pretty much quit on me, though, and I haven't seen him since I've gotten my retainers off, so I don't really know what to do. Do I just stop wearing them one day, and then put them in just at night from now on? Ahh! D:

Answers:

What I had to do was wear my retainer 24/7 for 6 months and then only at night for another year and a half. I know, that sounds like a long time, but your orthodontist should have told you all this.

PS after your year and a half is up, that's it, toss the retainer -- it's over.
