I got my retainer after braces. Should you wear a retainer every day?

Yes
Yes, usually recommend wearing every night as teeth are prone to shifting
and relapse after getting braces removed.
Please follow your Dentist’s recommendations. It is very important to wear them according to your Doctor’s instructions. Braces are a great investment and retainers are the e way to ensure they stable over time.
It needs to be worn for at least several hours every day. For best results, you should also look for help from an orofacial myofunctional therapist. By improving muscle activity, you improve the pressures placed on your teeth. These improved pressures help with retention rather than against retention. For the best additional information on this subject study the book: GROWING A HEALTHY CHILD, SECRETS FROM A WISE OLD DOC. Thanks for your excellent question.
After orthodontic treatment or Invisalign, It is best to wear retainers every day so your teeth do not move! It is also great if you see your dentist to get your x-rays done, to make sure all your roots are healthy, and no root resorption is present!

Yes, you should wear your retainer every day, to maintain the right position of the teeth.
Yes. You must wear a retainer every day and as much as you can. Teeth tends to move back to the original position before you did braces. It is highly recommended to wear retainer every day.
