my sister had her braces taken off a long time ago and was given clear plastic retainers to wear, she wore them all the time apart from eating and drinking, for six months!
she now wears them most nights.
hers have lasted around 6 years! and she treats them quite badly too!
hope i helped!
A plastic retainer typically lasts for about 1-2 years with proper care and maintenance. However, they may need to be replaced sooner if they become damaged or if they no longer fit properly. Regular check-ups with your orthodontist can help determine when it's time for a new retainer.
