    Constantly taking your retainers on and off can be damaging to them.

    Also, if they're not in your mouth, on your teeth, they can't do their job of keeping your teeth in the proper positions.

    If you don't like to have them on during the day, just keep them on at night time while sleeping. That's what I do. I hate wearing mine.
