Finished orthodontic treatment and figured your teeth will just stay put from here? That's one of the most common misconceptions we see. π¦·
Teeth naturally want to drift back toward their original position β it's simply how the surrounding bone and tissue respond over time. Wearing your retainer as directed is the only thing keeping your result exactly where it should be, which is why skipping it, even occasionally, can undo months or years of treatment faster than most people expect.
The good news is that protecting your results doesn't take much. A properly worn retainer, following the schedule your dentist recommends, is all it takes to keep your smile exactly where you worked so hard to get it.
Your retainer protects your results β don't let it be the thing that slips. π
