Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 You have got to be kidding! :-o Retainers do just what their name implies - retain. They retain the teeth in the position they were in when the braces came off. If you want to either p*ss off your orthodontist and/or wind up back in braces, then go ahead and NOT wear the retainers for a month or two. Personally, I hate my retainers, BUT I hate braces more. > after 4 years and 8 months of being in braces, i was finally freed > from the brackets today.
