it would be to wear your retainers! I didn't and am now paying for it literally and figuratively. I just started wearing the invisalign retainers yesterday afternoon and my teeth are hurting this morning! I didn't listen to my mom when she told me to wear my retainers and now 15 years after that amazing moment when I got my braces off, I find myself visiting my orthodontist again to fix my crooked teeth. Luckily, they're not too bad, so it shouldn't take too long to fix. This time though, I will definitely wear my retainers! So if you have a child that you just spent thousands of dollars on to fix their teeth, have them read this blog so they can hopefully avoid the pain of fixing their teeth again and the pain in their wallet years down the road.
