Hi. First and foremost i am not sure whether you undergone complete braces treatment. If you u have undergone, then ya definitely there are chances of relapse means teeth coming back to their original position. so you have to wear retainers. But it will be usually be for 1 or 2 years. But in some cases it needs for long duration. So in your case go for fixed retainers which are placed on inner surface, which are not seen for others. If you have fixed retainers you have to maintain hygiene means brushing at-least twice daily is mandatory.
