However, your teeth became very accustomed to the position they held until you had braces, and they&#8217;ll be quite eager to shift back without a retainer. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means that once you get your braces off, if there&#8217;s nothing to hold your teeth in place, they&#8217;ll slowly move back into an unaligned position.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, almost everybody has to wear a retainer after braces for the rest of their lives. Thankfully, retainers usually only need to be worn during the night \u2014 although during the first couple of weeks after getting your braces off, your orthodontist may also recommend that you wear them during the day. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the importance of wearing a retainer, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21055599\/\" target=\"_blank\">one study<\/a> found that the compliance rate of wearing retainers every night after 24 months fell to just 45%. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/ejo\/article\/29\/4\/372\/394220\" target=\"_blank\">Another study<\/a> found that the ease with which retainers could be lost was one of the main reasons for a patient&#8217;s non-compliance with retainer wear. <\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lost-retainer\">What happens if I lose my retainer?<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on how long ago you lost your retainer, there are a few things that could happen. One of the things we mentioned above is that your teeth can <strong>shift back<\/strong> into a crooked position. <\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/02\/sporting-smiles-retainers-online-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"i lost my retainer and my teeth are shifting\" class=\"wp-image-68387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/02\/sporting-smiles-retainers-online-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/02\/sporting-smiles-retainers-online-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/02\/sporting-smiles-retainers-online-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/02\/sporting-smiles-retainers-online-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/02\/sporting-smiles-retainers-online.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You must wear your retainer to keep your teeth straight<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They won&#8217;t go back to the exact original position they started in, per se, but teeth are dynamic and they constantly want to move. They might flare out, they might overlap, they might arch. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To add to that, your gums and teeth are more flexible right after long-term orthodontic treatment, and because the brackets and wires of braces are no longer holding your teeth in place, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www3.aaoinfo.org\/blog\/will-i-need-to-wear-retainers\/?gclid=CjwKCAjwt8uGBhBAEiwAayu_9SVSfLTHA41HC2KpxPkSQ-SRIpoq5AXNCmfWNUJhqK_EWnbvI5uyoBoCRAkQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\">your teeth will move<\/a>.

But that doesn&#8217;t mean there haven&#8217;t been any changes. Those changes slowly add up so that after a year or two goes by, you might suddenly notice that you have crooked teeth again. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might also be able to feel your teeth shifting, and as they do, you could encounter problems along your gumline. You might notice your bite is misaligned. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s important to keep your teeth aligned, not just for aesthetics but also for your oral and overall health. Start wearing a retainer again as soon as possible. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem is, if your teeth have shifted too much, your old retainer (if you do find it) won&#8217;t fit anymore, so you&#8217;ll need to get a new one. If your teeth have shifted to the point where they are noticeably misaligned, you may need to undergo <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/adult-braces\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"15\" target=\"_blank\">orthodontic treatment<\/a> again. <\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I lost my retainer and can&#8217;t afford a new one<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditional retainers from your orthodontist &#8211; the type you typically get after braces &#8211; are called Hawley retainers. These have an acrylic plate that goes along the roof of your mouth and a metal band that goes across your top teeth. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These can cost up to $300 at the orthodontist. Plus you need to go to the orthodontist again and get molds of your teeth taken so they can order you a new one. This will take multiple visits.  The good thing about Hawley retainers is that they can be adjusted if needed. This is especially handy if you need additional dental treatment later on, like fillings or dental crowns. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if you&#8217;re looking for maximum convenience, there&#8217;s a way to order new retainers if you&#8217;ve lost yours.

They will then send them back to you so you can start wearing them. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are various price options for Sporting Smiles retainers:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Essix Plus (Set of 2): $130<\/li>    <li>Essix Plus (Single): $90<\/li>    <li>Essix (Set of 2): $110<\/li>    <li>Essix (Single): $85<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the cheapest option is to order a single retainer, you may want to go with a set of 2, just in case you think you might be in this situation again sometime in the future.

That means that for the more free-spirited of us, they can be quite easy to lose track of. So here are some tips that you can use to make sure you don&#8217;t lose your retainer (again). <\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Store them in their case<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chances are your retainer came with a case. Not only do retainer cases serve a hygienic purpose, but they also make your retainers easier to keep track of. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a choice of colors, instead of opting for a neutral color, you may want to get a brightly colored case that&#8217;s even easier to spot when you&#8217;re frantically searching underneath those couch cushions. <\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/AIWAYING-Orthodontic-Retainer-Carabiner-Container\/dp\/B07GTWB4SD?keywords=colorful+retainer+case+with+clip&amp;qid=1639036583&amp;sr=8-1&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=lostretainer-20&amp;linkId=cbdca6354c97de14677da9011acac203&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"245\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/aiwaying-mouth-guard-case-300x245.png\" alt=\"Keep track of my retainer\" class=\"wp-image-77626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/aiwaying-mouth-guard-case-300x245.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/aiwaying-mouth-guard-case-1024x835.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/aiwaying-mouth-guard-case-768x626.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/aiwaying-mouth-guard-case.png 1146w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Keep track of your retainer with a fun case<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3lKu7w4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">These cases<\/a> are made for mouth guards, but they will fit your retainer too, and not only are they made in fun colors, but they also have clips on them for added anti-loss security. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or, if you&#8217;re all about looking good (and that means your retainer too) customers rave about <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3IrGO8K\" target=\"_blank\">these QUIST retainer cases<\/a>, which come in various colorful marble effect designs, are extremely durable, have hidden ventilation holes, and come with labels!<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be mindful after lunchtime<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether at the office, in school, or at home, it&#8217;s easy to get caught up in that rush to get lunch. Obviously, you have to take your retainer out to eat, and many people wrap their retainers in a napkin when they do so. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, a retainer wrapped in a napkin just so happens to look a lot like trash. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid tossing your retainer in the garbage after lunch, create the habit of placing it in its case as soon as you take it out and placing the case in your purse or pocket. <\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protect from pets<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To your dog, a retainer looks a lot like their favorite chew toy, and to a cat, it may seem like some sort of deformed mouse. Either way, keep it out of reach from your pets. That means avoiding placing them on countertops as well because if it&#8217;s sitting there, your cat can and will knock it off. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your pet gets a hold of your retainer, they can easily damage it, and you shouldn&#8217;t try to use it again if it gets damaged. So it might as well be as good as lost and get a new retainer. <\/p>    <div id=\"partners_comparing-block_b1043ccfb6e3669be098d6e4df321e13\" class=\"partners_comparing\"> \t<div class=\"partners_comparing__heading\"> \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"partners_comparing__title\"> \t\t\t\tFind the right clear aligners for you\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"partners_comparing__description\"> \t\t\t\tThere are so many companies offering remote teeth straightening with aligners!

We recommend using a specialized retainer cleaner like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilebrilliant.com\/product\/retainer-cleaner\/?ref=8950&amp;utm_source=dentaly&amp;utm_medium=arti\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">this one from cariPRO<\/a>. <\/p>    <h2 id=\"faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I lost my retainer. How fast will my teeth move?<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technically, your teeth can start moving as soon as you remove your retainer. But if you only lose your retainer for a few days or a week, it will most likely still fit. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a few weeks, you will notice more major shifts, and after a few months, you may begin to think about needing to redo some of your orthodontic treatment.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re wondering what to do if you lost your retainer, the answer is straightforward \u2014 contact your orthodontist or <a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=1737781&amp;u=2108362&amp;m=108263&amp;urllink=www%2Esportingsmiles%2Ecom%2Fteeth%2Dretainers%2Ehtml&amp;afftrack=ssrelore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">order a new one online<\/a>. <\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do if you lost your retainer during quarantine?<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you lose your retainer during self-quarantine, you can call your orthodontist to ask them for advice. You can also order custom-made retainers from an online supplier. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=1737781&amp;u=2108362&amp;m=108263&amp;urllink=www%2Esportingsmiles%2Ecom%2Fessix%2Dplus%2Dteeth%2Dretainer%2Ehtml&amp;afftrack=lore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Sporting Smiles<\/a> lets you order custom retainers online from the comfort of your home. <\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I lost my retainer. What can I use instead?<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t try to use anything as a retainer that isn&#8217;t meant for that purpose. You should only use a retainer that has been custom-made to fit your teeth. Using anything else will likely cause damage. <\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I lost my retainer \u2014 what should I do in the meantime?<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you lost your retainer, in the meantime you should make an appointment with your orthodontist to get a new one.

They will move and may become crooked again. Thus, it&#8217;s essential that you get a new retainer ASAP. <\/p> <div class=\"socials_share\"><ul class=\"share-buttons\">     <li class=\"share_item share_item-facebook\">         <a
