Retainers are made to fit the straightened teeth by the braces.So the dentists will usually advice their patients to always wear the retainers at least for the next few months

In most of the cases there will be pain for the teeth initially since the teeth have to adjust to the shape of the retainers.The first 2-4 weeks are the most important time to wear the retainers.

There are so many reported cases that one again had to wear the teeth braces because of not wearing retainers regularly and this will also depends on the severity of the teeth movement post braces.
