I've just had my train track braces removed and been given a retainer. I didn't think to ask my orthodontist, but...if I wear my retainer more (like round the house after school as well instead of just at night), will it make my teeth more likely to stay in place or move quicker or whatever? Would wearing it more than just at night do more harm or good?
Thanks!

It will do better, and might speed up the time of haveing to wear..Just wear it and night and if you want more than that. It cant do harm, then when you go back to the orthodotist ask about wearing it more often.

Nope, it wont harm your teeth if you wear it all the time. It just keeps them in place.

A retainer doesn't make your teeth move, it keeps them in place. It's not necessary to wear them for more then just at nightime. It won't do any harm, but you don't have to.

No, it doest do more harm. It would keep them in place longer yes, but you would still wear them the same amount of time most likely.

You can wear it all the time, it doesn't hurt to do that. It won't make your teeth move quicker, but it will actually keep your teeth lined up. But you have to keep wearing it, or your teeth will start shifting and you'll be back to wearing braces again; and I'm pretty sure you don't wan't that. Keep wearing it 24/7; unless your eating, brushing your teeth or your teeth are getting sore. Otherwise you should wear it all the time.

You need to wear it 24/7, you can take it out when you have to brush your teeth or when you eat something, until your orthodontist tells you other wise. Trust me, I made the mistake of not wearing my retainer a few years ago during the day and my teeth moved out of place a little bit and I was so close to getting my braces put back on. A retainer helps your teeth stay straight and not move out of place and the more you wear it, the better. You should really wear it both during the day and night.

Wearing it all the time doesn't hurt.
Just make sure you take it out occasionally.

It would make them more straight.
