well when i got my braces off they told me to wear it all the time for like a few months or so.. and then after that they told me i only had to wear it when i slept. so if you wear it when you sleep you should be fine..... and probally wont have to wear it any other timee
hope i helpedd

Wear it all the time. I mean it! People won't make fun of you, and if they do, they're stupid. If you absolutely can't do that, then just wear it at night. This is imperative.

Well when your get your braces off im pretty sure your supposed to wear it all the time for a month and then after that you only have to wear it to bed. It might be alittle late for that soo just wear it as much as possable becausse if you dont waer it you will need braces again.

After I got my braces off I never wore my retainer and now my teeth are crooked again. I regret not wearing the retainer. Wear it day and night for a few months, maybe three, then start wearing it just at night for another three months, then after that you can wear it one night a week for however long you want. Once your teeth start shifting into the form of the retainer (because orthodontists always make it tighter than your teeth are) it will start to be more comfortable.

you really should wear it as long as your Ortho said you should, so if he said 24/7 wear it at all times excpet for when yo uare eatting, if he said nighttime-wear it while you sleep, daytime- all day except for when you eat. I know they can be uncomfortable, but trust me, your mouth will get used to it! And if you don't wear your retainer as persribed, all that time you had braces would do nothing about your teeth would start to revert to what they were like before.. I hope I helped!

it depends on what you are told. like I am supose to be wearing it every night and I've had my braces off for 3 years and i would say i haven't warn it in a year. If they say wear it 24/7 i would say wear it for atleast 4 hours during the day and when you sleep.
it depends on your retainer though. if you have a clear one you can tell more when your teeth are moving and adjust to that. if you have a metal one you ahve to be more careful though because your teeth can move alot without you ever knowing
just be careful because if you screw up you don't want braces again!

well it depends on what your orthadontist says. for a couple of monthes after you get them off, you have to wear it all the time unless your eating. after a couple monthes, you go back to the orthodontist & they tell you you only have to wear it at night [supposedly for the rest of your life.] i know it can be uncomfortable, but you'll get used to it & in the end its worth it. pretty soon youll only have to wear it at nights. if you dont wear it, your teeth may move and get crooked, which messes up the whole 2+ years of braces.
