I do! I had two rounds of braces so I definitely wear my retainers this time around!

Me too. I had braces twice so I don't want to mess up my teeth.

I know longer wear my top retainer (stopped maybe 4 years after my braces were taken off), and I still have a wire glued to my bottom set of teeth.

I have a permanent bottom retainer too, but do not wear my top retainer. It amazes me that 22 years later, the permanent retainer is still in and doing just fine. I've had it in my mouth longer than I haven't. Works wonders though. My older sister took hers out in her 30's and her teeth moved.

i wear mine to sleep every so often, and it seems to keep everything where it's supposed to be.

nope not anymore, but I do wear a nightguard so it acts as a retainer.

Nope, and my dental hygenist did mention I should wear them because my teeth are shifting as I get older. however, I don't think my retainers fit right now... yikes!
