I am aware that I will need a retainer after braces, but I do not want to have permanent ones. What determines if a person will wear a permanent retainer?
Thank you!

How Do I Tighten My Permanent Retainer Using The Key The Orthodontist Gave Me?

There’s this little key, though it doesn’t have any teeth, it’s just like a tiny straight rod. He said you have to stick it in through the two bars and turn it or something confusing like that. He drew a diagram, too, but it doesn’t make any sense.

I’ve heard of permanent retainers, and I think it’s my only option, because I can’t keep wearing braces and/or Invisalign over and over! I got braces at age 40, and they say that’s why they won’t stay put. In fact, they started to move even when I was wearing my retainers religiously. Any help would be appreciated.
