Hi jmflynny,
I was curious about the retainer because my ortho said 24 hrs a day for the first 6 months, then nights for 2 years, then nothing. I wonder about this because so many on this board will be wearing retainers for life. I think I need to do some research on it.
Good luck and keep us posted!

I don't know your age, but I'm 41 and I'm going through 'limited treatment' for only 9-10 months. I believe that that has something to do with it.
My friend had braces on her bottoms only and was required to wear her retainer for just an hour a day. Of course, she doesn't even do that and now they are starting to turn again.
I guess each case is different, and in my case, my doc likely gave me the worst case scenario.
