First, the period of time isn't the same for everyone! usually you wear a retainer 6 months or a year after getting your braces off. After that, you wear it only at night for the rest of you life. This step isn't necessary but if you want to have straight teeth forever, you might want to consider doing the last step. Wish you luck!!! <3

If you received orthodontic treatment as a late adult how long do you have to continue to wear dental retainers after the orthodontic treatment is completed?
Your teeth are always shifting slightly, so as long as you would like them to stay how they are after braces, you need to wear your retainer forever. Not 24/7, but at least once a week or at night should keep them in place.
Do you get retainers before or after braces come off?
Most people get retainers after braces to keep their teeth inline. However, some people wear retainers for straightening a particular tooth. For example I had to wear a retainer after getting a tooth taken out, to keep my teeth inline, allowing my second tooth to come through. After this I then got braces and then had to wear a retainer to keep them straight.
What are retainers like?
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.
Do you still have to wear your retainers?
Orthodontic retainers, the appliances given to a patient following active orthodontic treatment, are very important. This is because the teeth seem to have a "memory" and they will tend to return to their previous positions following ortho treatment if they are not retained in their new positions. Retainers typically need to be worn for several years to prevent the teeth from shifting. There are basically two types of retainers, fixed and removable. Fixed retainers are placed with special cement are are not removable. The advantage is that they are easy to maintain and they cannot be lost of forgotten. The disadvantage is that they are somewhat hard to keep clean without meticulous oral hygiene. This can lead to additional tooth decay. Removable retainers have the advantage of being able to be removed by the patient. This allows for better oral hygiene. Unfortunately, some patients will forget to wear their retainers and their teeth will shift. Also, removable retainers are not typically worn while eating, and they run the risk of being misplaced or lost. Replacing them repeatedly can become expensive.
Is there is a type of retainer that is safe to wear in a fresh lip piercing?

When should you not wear your retainer like would you wear it to gym?
I wouldn't think that you would have to take out your retainer for gym but I'm not so sure because I'm just getting my braces on in two weeks....I think that's a question that you may have to confront your ortho with!
What should you do if you wear retainers at night and you recently were told by your orthodontist that you grind your teeth at night?
You should talk to your orthodontist, because i had this same problem, he gave me clear retainers, kind if like invaline, and clear retainers are just like that night guard stuff, so you really get 2 in 1
Could you ware a clean retainer to school if the dress code says no body piercing?
Yes you can wear clear retainers to school regardless of what the dress code says, you are wearing clear retainers not jewellery and retaining your piercings are none of the school's business. Bottom line if your parents allow you to have piercings then that is between you and your parents, you wear retainers and not jewellery in your piercings at school to comply with the dress code, enough said.
