The Retainer Wear Schedule

Modern practice is lifelong retention for removable retainers — daily wear at first, easing to nights only long-term. Stopping entirely, even years later, remains the commonest cause of teeth drifting back.

A bonded wire simply stays put, quietly doing its job without any effort from you, which is why it's the most dependable form of retention.

Should your retainer feel tight after time away from it, that's early drift; see your orthodontist rather than forcing it back on. Acting quickly avoids a bigger, costlier correction later.
