Duration of use of the installer

It may take up to a year or longer for the teeth to settle after treatment. If the distance between your teeth before treatment is large, the retention period will be longer. Using retainers usually takes as long as using braces. If the teeth return to their previous position at the end of the period of orthodontic treatment, you will have to use fixed braces again, which is why it is important to use fixed braces during this period.
