Reason being, the gaps between my teeth are pretty wide apart and that some teeth have to be rotated. He showed me the retainer that I gonna be using and it's not those normal metal retainer, it is "Invisalign"... He explained to me that Invisalign holds teeth better... I have some concerns here: 1) If I were to wear retainer (Invisalign) forever, how often do I need to change my invisalign? And roughly how much does each cost? 2) What if the clinic I go close down? Will I be able to get other dentist to do the retainer for me? Please help help me... pretty confused now.. :( I have been told by my dentist that if I put on braces, after which I remove the braces, I may need to put on retainer every night “FOREVER”… Reason being, the gaps between my teeth are pretty wide apart and that some teeth have to be rotated.
