How long will my clear retainers last?

Roughly how long can I expect a set of clear retainers to last with normal use?
Answer from Retainers at Home
With proper care, clear retainers typically last 12 to 18 months. How long yours last depends on how often they are worn, how well they are cleaned, and whether you grind your teeth. If you grind, our 1.5mm retainers will last noticeably longer.
