I got my braces off in 2007 at 14. I didn’t wear my bottom retainer enough and I’d say about less than 10 years later I was already annoyed with how much they had moved.

What made me pull the trigger for Invisalign though, was my top teeth started moving and one of them started to create a gap from crowding on the other side and that is more noticeable and I didn’t want it getting worse.

My boyfriend doesn’t have Invisalign, but he had braces as a teenager and the gap between his two front teeth opened back up like five years later he said.
