Is there anything that can be done as I dont want to wear retainers for life?

Q. I had braces for a year, and ive took it off, and started wearin retainers, but my doctor said that i have to wear the retainers for a life now, i want to know is there anything that i can do, because i dont want to wear them for a life?

A. I recommend lifetime reatiners to ensure the teeth don’t move back.  You can have a fixed retainer placed behind the front 6 teeth and then only wear your other retainer at night.
