These appliances/braces are used after the conclusion of an active orthodontic treatment and serve to protect the treated tooth and jaw position. Retaining clips are usually worn only at night.
Since teeth, unfortunately, change their position all through one’s life, retaining clips should also be worn all through one’s life. As an adult, wearing them occasionally (2 nights a week) is generally sufficient.
