Can I wear braces only at night?

The retainer can not be worn only at night. In general, we need to wear the retainer for two years. We suggest that the first year should be 24 hours except for eating and brushing teeth. All the time should be worn. In the second year, it can be changed to wear only at night. For adult patients, especially some patients with poor periodontal condition, or some serious torsion teeth, etc., easy to relapse, we also recommend to keep wearing for a long time or even for life to ensure the effect of our teeth correction. For patients who need to wear retainers for a long time, you can only wear them at night depending on the situation. However, the specific requirements of orthodontists are still required.
