Brief Answer:
Malocclusion

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

If you are having malocclusion and you are using any container or retainer as part of your dental treatment then yes you should wear it for the given time otherwise teeth can change their position.

If you can specify more about what problem you had and since when you are under dental treatment then I can help you more about the treatment plan.

Regards
