My orthodontist recommends wearing retainers for a year full time and the 2nd year is where you can wear them at night only. I cannot remember what the 3rd year+ was but, I honestly wore my retainers 24/7 for years anyways.
I was told it might be 5 years of retainer before night only so you saying it might only be 3 months thats relief hopefully in a year I don't need retainer in all the time. Halfway through braces
I used to go through so many pairs of those fake vampire teeth during Halloween when I was very young because when I would take them out they’d be completely filled to the brim with spit and I’d gag whenever I saw it. Lol.
Had a friend that had a retainer and was so gross. She would take it out and drop it into her lunchbox (without the case) and would get food all over it. She also lost it one time and then we found it again on the floor after a week or so. It was disgusting
Hi this is just a question 🙂 I've never had braces so I know nothing about retainers so this might sound dumb. Can you clean your retainers with soap and water ? How to y clean them?
Yeah have a retainer for three months I have had like four different retainers. I am getting back to my Invisalign Monday and I’ll try to be more responsible with it so I don’t have to wear another retainer😅😐
My friends friend has wore hers for a very long time and she always pulls it out and sticks it in her water bottle and it’s all chewed and ruined! Disgusting 🤮
Ooh I have a question: if you wear retainers full-time for a long time, can you "train" your teeth to stay straight forever? (And thus never need retainers again?)
No. The fibers in between your teeth will always attempt to go back into their original position regardless of how often you wear the retainers. It's just how your mouth works. There's no such thing as dental training or teeth training. Taking the retainers off for long periods of time after several months after using them will have your teeth shift.
not really, well for me I was wearing the retainers all the time, then eventually started to only wear then at night then some nights i forgot to to put them in and now my bite started to open up again
I got mine off a few years ago and for the first few years I was pretty okay at wearing them but since I have problems wearing it, I feel like my tongue is too big and when I have both trays in it bothers me (which talking to my dentist I need to go back to ortho to see if they can put in a permanent one or something to fix that) so anyway personally when I don’t wear mine the biggest thing that I notice is that I get a gap in between my two front teeth, which I know is because I had an expander on the top so it’s like that it’s coming back, however if I put them on for at least eight hours or so it will make it pretty much go away, although I think if i have them on for at least 12 hours that makes them about perfect again as well as helps them better stay put (it’s best if I do that for at least 2/3 days in a row then that will make it even better and last even longer) so like they will be perfectly straight again while they stay that way and for me like it’ll be a good 2/3 weeks or so I’ll forget about it before I notice the gap slightly coming back which is my sign that it’s time to wear them again lol but again not for long and as long as you keep it up (even if it’s not consistent just do it when you can and it’ll help and make a difference)
Hey bentist, do you mind replying? I’ve got a tooth problem : whenever I suck my bottom lips in, or just squeeze my bottom row of teeth, I can push it back out with my tongue.. is that normal?
well basically i was somewhere and my crush was there i had a retainer and i didn’t want to take it out because it was really gross so i literally ATE WITH IT IN😭
hi! I have a question. What do you do if you have a big whole in your back tooth but the root and a bit of the tooth is still there? I wasn’t getting pain for a couple of months but now it’s getting a bit of severe pain. I’ve told my family and went to a dentist and they said if I get pain they will take the tooth and root out. But the thing is I’m scared what will happen. And I have 2 teeth like this. The other one isn’t as bad,it’s just got a few cavities. And the first one is hurting right now. It’s hurting every 1-3 days now. And you might not look at this comment but I have to try. Because your the best dentist I know on TH-cam. So please tell me what will happen or do, thank you if you have time.
I was out eating with my parents once and forgot to take off the invisalign after returning from the bathroom, so I got up and went again. My dad asked me why I couldn't take them off at the table I answered "dad, I doubt it's a nice sight, and I'm in public rn"
I will probably have to wear my bottom ones for longer than 3 months because I don't have teeth on the bottom and they are preparing me for implants in the future😭
Why did i keep watching even though i knew what was coming. I wore a brace for 3 years to, well 2 different types to move and widen my teeth. I never did this, and i had to war rhem like all the time. I have kids too. Poop 💩, pee, puke, green as green snot. But this, spit ffs noooooo 😢
I got my braces off today and when my orthodontist asked me to try placing and removing my retainer i couldnt get the top one off so thank you for this 😂😂

Your pfp looks like a piece of hair and I accidentally tried to move it off my screen 😂
@@Emmaversuslifesame 😅
Yep
Omg matching pfps
😂😂😂😂lmao
I would just go to the bathroom, rinse it and then put it in the case.
I did that when I had my retainer
If it's not on your face it's on that case lmao
The way he gagged 😭😭
It made die😭☠️
The amount of times I've seen people take their retainers out without even trying not to drool is astonishing lol
As an Invisalign user, I feel this! 😅 but I always ask for a bathroom and take them off there
Same! I’m so embarrassed to remove it in public
Nah I gave up on that, I just take them out and shove them into my pocket. The removal of Invisalign is wild
@@saturnstyxhy ikr
I have Invisalign too. It feels so weird but my friends and family are probably used to it by now....
@@saturnstyxhysame 🌝
Invisalign users:
Who does that?? Go to the bathroom or excuse yourself for a moment.
Your videos help me so much
your content be having me rolling
I like that lmao “in you face or in your case” 😂
Had a retainer in 3rd grade, and even i knew proper etiquette back then just because of common sense.
Another rare footage of bentist not saying “PUHHHH”
Who here closed their eyes when he took the retainers out ✋
retainers are for life i think
*starts posing*
YOU THOUGHT I WOULD TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY TEETH, BUT IT WAS ME! DIO!
I was legit gagging 😭😭😭
i just got my braces off and they told me that i only hav to wear my retainers at night thank God
My orthodontist recommends wearing retainers for a year full time and the 2nd year is where you can wear them at night only. I cannot remember what the 3rd year+ was but, I honestly wore my retainers 24/7 for years anyways.
My friend calls her container for hers a retainer container and we always laugh at the rhyming ❤😂
“CAN I HAVE A COOKIE 🍪?MMmmMMmmMmMmMmMmM”😂😂
WHY DOES HE SOUND LIKE THAT
My brother taking off his retainer in the middle of Me eating:
Thank you for this 😂👍👍👍👍
Nah, my classmate used to place it in front of her on the tissue on the corner of her desk. I don’t know why.. it was just laying there, chilling. 😂😂
I was told it might be 5 years of retainer before night only so you saying it might only be 3 months thats relief hopefully in a year I don't need retainer in all the time. Halfway through braces
This is going to be really helpful because I’m getting my braces off next week!
How long does it take for your tooth to come down all the way after impacted canine surgery??
Thank you for reminding me to wear my retainers
Bentist..!
Exactly I'll do the same thing what u said😁
I used to go through so many pairs of those fake vampire teeth during Halloween when I was very young because when I would take them out they’d be completely filled to the brim with spit and I’d gag whenever I saw it. Lol.
If it’s not in your face it’s in that case 🤣
When my phase 1 of braces was over I used to pop my retainer out with my tongue. It was both discrete and easy to get back in its case
My mom has a cleaner and she does very good ❤
Idk why but i trust you more than my own dentist
Ive had my retainer for 2 yrs
what about eating ice causes 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Pls answer this question can we sleep with retainers????
Ahh I was wearing my retainer full time in 2 years😃
Had a friend that had a retainer and was so gross. She would take it out and drop it into her lunchbox (without the case) and would get food all over it. She also lost it one time and then we found it again on the floor after a week or so. It was disgusting
what happens if you don't wear retainer full time but you wear them most of the time
Hi this is just a question 🙂 I've never had braces so I know nothing about retainers so this might sound dumb. Can you clean your retainers with soap and water ? How to y clean them?
My Ortho wants me to wear it full time for at least the first 2 years. I have a 3 yr contract for braces and had serious issues and had surgery.
Yeah have a retainer for three months I have had like four different retainers. I am getting back to my Invisalign Monday and I’ll try to be more responsible with it so I don’t have to wear another retainer😅😐
My friends friend has wore hers for a very long time and she always pulls it out and sticks it in her water bottle and it’s all chewed and ruined! Disgusting 🤮
I had an underbite and I had to wear my Invisalign for about 2 years
Ooh I have a question: if you wear retainers full-time for a long time, can you "train" your teeth to stay straight forever? (And thus never need retainers again?)
No. The fibers in between your teeth will always attempt to go back into their original position regardless of how often you wear the retainers. It's just how your mouth works. There's no such thing as dental training or teeth training. Taking the retainers off for long periods of time after several months after using them will have your teeth shift.
After many years you can typically start wearing your retainers once every week or so. This will depend on your teeth though.

Can't we eat with retainers on?
My orthodontist told me I should be wearing my retainer for a whole year all the time instead of three months. Why???
I always turned around and made sure to put it in my case after, basic etiquette..
i have to wear my retainers for 9 months actually bc of my jaw- and i go to the bathroom then take it off n put it in the case
This kid in my math class just got a retainer and he sounds like a dying walrus💀
I got bullied in elementary school for taking mine out and being disgusting but when eating food would get stuck in it and cause pressure on my teeth
my mom used to wear removable retainers like I don't know
When my sister was done wearing her retainer full time she would act like the guy in the video during breakfast. It was horrible.
I had a friend that did that
the gag 💀
ǍŘFEEGGAÆ
It’s good I don’t have done yes😄
Do you still have that bracket on your tooth or did you remove it?
so you rwmove when u brush?
I have to wear my retainer for 6 months full time after I get my braces off in march 😭
Hey bentist, do you mind replying? I’ve got a tooth problem : whenever I suck my bottom lips in, or just squeeze my bottom row of teeth, I can push it back out with my tongue.. is that normal?
I don’t wear mine in the day- only at night since I’ve got them and my ortho is kinda mad about it-
well basically i was somewhere and my crush was there i had a retainer and i didn’t want to take it out because it was really gross so i literally ATE WITH IT IN😭
Unless you have invisable aligners lol

People with Invisalign 😢
i have those retainers exept only on the top so i have to grab my box the hide take them out come back and then eat them :)
What about GOING TO THE BATHROOM before
I was out eating with my parents once and forgot to take off the invisalign after returning from the bathroom, so I got up and went again.
My dad asked me why I couldn't take them off at the table
I answered "dad, I doubt it's a nice sight, and I'm in public rn"
Not the aggressive chomping
I usually just take a tissue and take them out like that.
No spitting problem! :)
hey bentist how would you go about if you want braces really bad but your teeth already straight?☺️
He sounds like the grinch 😂
Today I’m going to my dentist to get crowns and yeah it is. It’s gonna be very painful.😢
I used to have a friend that would pull hers out right at the dinner table. I would lose my appetite so quick!!!! 🤢🤢🤮

Im going to throw up my coffee. Seriously gagging with watery eyes and all. I stopped looking but the sound 🤮
Hey bentist I’ve got a question, why is my left canine super sharp but my right canine tooth is up in my gums? It’s worried me for about 2-3 years now
Ummmm so why did my orthodontist say I have to wear it all the time for A YEAR?!
My friend was told she had to wear hers full time for life
