Do You Have to Wear an Invisalign Retainer Forever?

The length of wearing retainers can vary from person to person due to differing degrees of teeth misalignment.

The duration can vary significantly depending on various factors, such as the severity of your dental misalignments and your commitment to wearing your aligners. It’s important to adhere to your treatment plan properly for the desired results for your smile.
