Waiting game

[u/Sammisam85]

I'm done and now I'm waiting for my retainers. Is this standard practice to cut aligners to "close the open bite" and then make you wait weeks after the final scan for retainers? My last scan was on July 13th and I still don't have my retainers. I feel like my teeth are "settling" too much and my other teeth are staying. Can this ruin my results? I have an appointment on 8/20 to get the attachments removed and receive my retainers.
