The only problem i had with my teeth b4 braces was a gap in my two front teeth...and i have a permenent retainer for that...also..i was about to eat some candy..is it necessary to remove it for that??

Thank so much <3

Answer 1

my friend only wears hers at nite and not during the day if she hads important plans but if she is just lounging she wears it wear it as much as possible or your teeth can shift back out

i would prolly remove it before you eat!!

Answer 2

I had a friend in high school who had braces and after he got them off he decided he did not need to wear his retainer. Well within the year his teeth were not straight and he had to go back into braces for twice as long this time. Wear your retainer and take it out for eating. Take it seriously or your teeth WILL move back and you will have wasted all that time with braces on.

Answer 3

Wear your retainer for the amount of time your orthodontist said to, whether it is only at night, or all the time. Your teeth will shift if you don&#039;t.  I knew a girl who didn&#039;t wear her retainer when she should have and she had to get braces back on for another year.

As for removing it to eat, yes, you should remove your retainer when you are eating anything, as it can damage the retainer if you don&#039;t.
