How Long Do You Need to Wear Retainers?

The current standard is to keep wearing removable retainers indefinitely, tapering from full-time to nights only. Abandoning them after a couple of years — once routine advice — is now recognised as a leading cause of relapse.

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.

If a removable retainer stops fitting after a gap in wear, don't force it — contact your orthodontist. A new retainer, or occasionally a short retreatment, is far cheaper than letting relapse set in.
