After braces come off, retainers are crucial to keep teeth from shifting back. You wear them full-time at first, then just at night. It might feel strange, like a slight lisp or extra bulk, but it's temporary. Many people skip wearing them, only to regret it when their smile changes. Your orthodontist will give a custom plan, often with clear plastic aligners or a fixed wire behind your teeth. Consistency is key here.
