Why is a retainer so important to wear after removing braces?

Before I got braces, my teeth were horribly crooked. I had to wear a clear temporary retainer every night in order to keep my teeth aligned. Unfortunately, I broke and had forgotten about wearing my retainer, which caused my bottom teeth to shift. Wow, surprisingly that one mistake cost me a few thousands of dollars to get braces again! Due to my silly mistake, it also cost me $190 to get a new retainer.

I learned that wearing my retainer was imperative to retaining straight teeth. Make sure you follow your orthodontist’s recommendations to ensure that your teeth and your smile will look great forever!
