Hello,
Brushing technique is very important to keep the teeth healthy.
Brushing at night just before sleep is important and as you said your teeth are cavity prones then do visit a dentist in every 6months.
With retainers ,you should clean your teeth after every meal.
Next Steps
Follow proper brushing technique,you can learn from YouTube too.
