Answers:
If you just got your braces off a few days ago, I would suggest not taking your retainers off. Your teeth are still very sensitive to movement, from having braces. So, it is very important to wear that retainer all the time to stabilize your teeth. If you don't wear it all the time your teeth will start to move again. Next time you see your orthodontist, let him know your concerns. Remember the retainer is there to stabilize your teeth and train them to stay straight.
