How long do you have to wear retainers if you have Bruxism or Malocclusion?

You don't really wear retainers for bruxism. Your dentist can make you an appliance to wear at night to keep you from wearing down your teeth, also a splint can be made for this problem too. Mainly these appliances for bruxism are worn mainly at night, so probably as long as you have the problem. Be sure to ask your dentist about the risks of wearing a splint, because it has been known to cause an open bite. Hope that helps
