Retainer Stage

2017-08-24 10:13:48
It's been 6 months that I have worn retainer 24*7 & made visits as instructed by my Ortho. Next month I'm shifting to another country so is it fine if I dont make dentist visits any more but continue wearing my retainer 24*7 for the remaining 6 months

Kudos! U wore retainers for 6 months 24*7. U should consult your Ortho once regarding the same so that the doctor can plan for  permanent fixed retainer too along with the removable ones.
Next Steps
make sure to visit your Ortho and if that's not happening, relegiously wear your retainers 24*7.
