i only have a simple question, do i need retainers for life after aligners have fixed my teeths?
yes, on google they said they do. i met some ppl irl and they said they dont wear it.
i stopped wearing them and now my teeth need another brace to be perfect again . so yes you do if u care
how bad are they rn? like back to normal or just a bit left and right?
its bad. but not that bad, im still handsome if thats what you asking
Bad? Yes. Significat? No. I sum it up like you are 5 years old hope you understand now
I wore them for 1-1.5 years and then stopped.
Haven't had any issues since.
At this point you are just trying to find a confirmation bias to help you more comfortable when you dont wear it in the near future.
the thing is, what im curious about is how severe is the shifting. if its a lil bit left and right then im fine with it. cuz hearing such a life time commitment is crazy
I would share but I'm ugly as fuck and I'm not trying to give you guys heart attacks.
If you think you are ugly you will be ugly. It's not the appearance that matter, its the confidence.
My dentist did gave me a retainer for me to wear every time I slept for pretty much the future after I was finished with my braces. Have been wearing them consistently around the first few months, but nowadays I kept them on and off as I saw no issues with it.
But it remains smart just to follow what your dentist told you.
