When you have braces for a certain amount of time you are required to wear a clear or wire retainer. They keep your teeth from moving. So say you got your braces off and you refuse to wear a retainer or you just don't want to, your teeth will move and then you have to get braces again. Your retainer doesn't have to be in very long.

Permanent Retainer
Permanent retainers are made of flexible, stainless steel wire that attaches to each tooth. Usually, the wire is smooth and solid or has a braided quality. It attaches to your teeth and adjusts to your bite so that your teeth move and become curved. Permanent bottom retainers are joined to the back of the patient’s teeth.

How do you replace the headlights on a 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada?
Each of the headlight assemblies are braced through the radiator support with a pair of retainers. The retainers for the right headlight assembly are in front of the battery. The retainers for the left assembly are in front of the washer fluid reservoir. Remove the retainers by pulling up on the retainer. With the retainers removed, the headlamp assembly falls forward. Reinstall the retainers to the square tabs on the headlamp assembly and the rivet on the radiator support

What is the right way to clean retainers?
I clean my retainer with my toothbrush and Listerine. There are tablets you can buy that you put in water and they dissolve and clean the retainers. Just whatever you do, DO NOT use any kind of heat to clean them! Using heat can misshapen your retainers!
