Do I Really Need to Wear My Retainer Forever?

If you’ve just finished orthodontic treatment, congratulations — you’ve invested time, money, and patience into achieving a straighter, healthier smile. But here comes the big question:

Do you really have to wear your retainer forever?

The short answer: Yes — if you want to keep your smile straight for life.

At FOREVERSMILE Retainer, we help patients in San Antonio and throughout South Texas maintain their orthodontic results without the stress of lost or broken retainers — thanks to our retainer replacement program that makes lifetime smile protection simple, affordable, and hassle-free.

Why Retainers Matter So Much

Orthodontic treatment is a major investment, typically costing $3,000 to $7,000. While braces or aligners move your teeth into position, retainers are what keep them there. Without consistent use of a retainer, teeth can shift — sometimes within just a few weeks or months.

Facts about retainer use:

• Studies show teeth naturally shift back toward their original position without retention.
• The American Association of Orthodontists recommends lifetime retainer use — especially at night.
• Even adults who had braces years ago can experience late-onset crowding without a retainer.

That’s why we created FOREVERSMILE Retainers — to give you peace of mind knowing your smile stays straight, year after year.

What Happens If You Lose or Break Your Retainer?

It’s more common than you think. Retainers get thrown away with lunch trays, chewed up by pets, dropped and cracked — and once it’s gone, your teeth are unprotected. Unfortunately, replacing a retainer can cost hundreds of dollars, and getting a new impression takes time.

That’s where we come in.
