It depends on the lab technician who is doing it may take from one day to 3 days. if it takes more than 5 days you will have moderate relapse and if it is less than 3 days you will have mild relapse.

Hi,
It’s advisable for you to get a new retainer as soon as possible. Kindly visit your orthodontist, impression will be taken and your new retainer should be ready within a week. Until then continue using the existing retainer while you still can. Nothing to worry about the movement.
