Our Beverly Hills Invisalign doctor encourages patients to not view the retainer as an additional treatment, but instead, to view the retainer as part of the Invisalign treatment itself. Teeth tend to shift as we age, which holds true even for people who have never gone through orthodontics.
After treatment, you will at first likely be required to wear your retainer during the day and also while you sleep. This may last for a year or so. After that, you will only have to wear your retainer at night. As much as patients do not want to hear it, you will probably be advised to wear your retainer at night for the rest of your life. Over the years, it has become clear that orthodontic relapse is more the norm than it is the exception. The Invisalign retainer provides an effective safeguard against this unfortunate occurrence.
