Your teeth should fit comfortably in your mouth without excessive gapping, overcrowding, or severe rotation. When you close your mouth, the upper and lower teeth should lock neatly without overlapping or leaving gaps.

After completing orthodontic treatment with braces or clear aligners, a retainer is essential to maintain your newly straightened smile. Otherwise, your teeth can gradually return to their original positions (orthodontic relapse). A retainer helps your teeth settle into new positions to maintain your investment.
A retainer is similar to clear aligners. Initially, you may need to wear your retainer full-time before transitioning to nighttime use. Your orthodontist will provide specific guidelines based on your case.
