Or should i start again by using permanent braces or veenering done because i will be staying in college hostel... So the temporary retainers create a problem

Hello,
After orthodontic treatment minimum 6 months you have to wear retainer if your old space is closed then you can get a permanent lingual retainer ( placed in inner side of teeth) . It will be comfortable and maintaining will be easy.
