This is not easy. It has been the reason why I had to go through Invisalign series after braces. I've completed my Invisalign treatment and I have to make sure that there will be no third treatment. I have to diligently wear the retainers.
Nighttime is a lot easier. I don't usually take dinner and I can put them on as early as after Maghrib. Retainers are harder than aligners. Putting them in and out many times during the day is more challenging.
I found a solution that works for me so far. I wear my last set of aligners during the day instead of the retainers because they are easier to pull out and put back in. They don't look as smooth as retainers because of the stubs, but this is still better than not wearing anything at all. I also wear the upper aligners only during the day because I think the upper teeth have more tendency to move or relapse. The lower ones did not undergo major shifts and were done and stable for quite some time before the treatment ended.
With this plan, things are much better and more manageable.
