“How long you have to wear a retainer after Invisalign?”

Yes, the rest of your life.

Teeth have tendency to want to return to their original positions. Ideally, the longer you can afford to wear retainers, the better. Wearing it for life would maintain the best result!

6 months to a year.

Thank you for asking that good questions. After a person finished with his/her Invisalign treatment, one should wear the retainers for a life time. This rules applies regardless of whether or not you have Invisalign ( here collectively called as Clear Aligner Therapy) or the traditional orthodontic brackets and wires treatment. The main reason is that for the majority of individuals who have orthodontic treatment, their teeth will tends to drift and shit slowly over time. So, in order to prevent this relapse from happening, one should wear the retainers regularly.

Hi!

Yes you need to wear a retainer after orthodontic treatment. It is recommended that patients wear their retainer every night for the rest of their life to prevent the teeth from shifting. Hope this helps!
