My younger sister (15) got her retainer about 5 months ago and the ortho said she is supposed to wear it 24/7. The first day she had it she wore it the whole day and from then on she has only worn it at night, sometimes she will go days without wearing it at all. My problem is I have the same retainer and I'm supposed to wear it 24/7 also, which I do. It's always in my mouth all the time. I've talked to my parents many times about how she never wears it and they will check on her a few times that day and then they completely forget about it. When we go to the ortho for check ups she lies and says she wears it all the time and the ortho beleives her. and the day before the appointment she wears it all day to make her teeth straight for the appointment. I hate how she gets away with this! What can I do!!

either make her forget to wear it, or ignore it. It's her own fault if her teeth aren't straight.
make her so busy b4 her appointment that she doesnt remember(or have time) to put it in
