Its true that you have to put retainers for minimum of 6 months else treatment may fail partially or completely. Retainers can be give for many many years depending upon how severe your problem was. Nothing to worry as retainers are not visible from outside and it won't interfere with your eating.

Hello, After orthodontic treatment, The dentist gives you the retainer to avoid chances of relapse. Relapse is the tendency for teeth to return to their pre-treatment position, and this occurs especially in lower front teeth. Retention, to maintain the position of corrected teeth, has become one of the most important phases of orthodontic treatment. It is always given for a few months. Doctors evaluate it from time to time, And when they do not seem to need it, they remove it. It is a part of orthodontic treatment, so no need to worry about it. Thank you.

Hi. Yes, after getting your braces treatment, you need to put retainers as braces moves your teeth to new position and to get your bone and gums around your teeth adapted to this new position, you need to wear retainers. In some conditions, your dentist/orthodontist might ask you to wear braces for a long time, esoecially at night.
