However, your orthodontist says that you have to wear a retainer even after your treatment is done. The last thing you want to do is wear another oral appliance. You just want to enjoy your newly straightened smile. Do you really have to wear your retainer? Yes! Let\u2019s talk about three reasons why.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>Reason #1: Prevent Relapse Soon After Treatment<\/h2>\r\nOrthodontic treatment shifts your teeth away from the position they were used to being in for so long. As a result, when treatment stops, your teeth might move back into their crooked state, sometimes very rapidly. This is why retention in that early aftercare period is so crucial. You don\u2019t want all that time you spent in treatment to be for nothing!\r\n<h2>Reason #2: Don\u2019t Waste Your Money<\/h2>\r\nTime won\u2019t be the only thing you waste if you forgo wearing your retainer. Think of all the money you spent on treatment. You don\u2019t want to have to repeat all of that, do you? By keeping your retainer in for the prescribed amount of time daily, you can keep your teeth in a straight position and prevent the need for future orthodontic treatment, saving you money.\r\n<h2>Reason #3: Keep Your Smile Straight for Life<\/h2>\r\nThe whole reason you sought orthodontic treatment was to have a more aligned smile. Don\u2019t you want to reap that benefit for as long as possible? Besides being aesthetically pleasing, straight teeth are easier to keep clean, lessening your likelihood that you\u2019ll develop oral health problems like cavities and gum disease.\r\n<h2>What If Your Forgot to Wear Your Retainer?<\/h2>\r\nIf for some reason you didn\u2019t wear your retainer as often as you should have, it\u2019s not the end of the world. Your dentist offers Invisalign clear braces in Sparks. These translucent aligner trays are worn over the teeth to discreetly straighten them. Since you can remove them for easy eating, brushing, and flossing, they are much more convenient than traditional braces. Your dentist treats many, many patients who have forgotten to wear their retainers with Invisalign.\r\n\r\nFortunately, retainers are comfortable and easy to wear. More often than not, you\u2019ll wear them for a few days after your treatment is finished. Then, you can very likely switch to only wearing them at night. And, as you can see, only good things come from wearing your retainer!\r\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vistadental.net\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Marc Thomas<\/a> is an Invisalign-certified dentist in Sparks, NV who graduated with his doctorate in dentistry from the University of the Pacific in 1993.
