Okay dokay...
I've been out of braces for 3 years.
I have a bonded retainer on the bottom only. On top I have a removable retainer.
I'm just worried that overtime my plastic "invisalign" type retainer will morph with heat exposure, etc. and pretty soon I'll be forcing my teeth away from where they are now.
I have consulted a few ortho's and they really don't have any definitive answer for me. Hopefully the internets will!
Now, I am not posting this question to get out of any "work" of dealing with a removable retainer or flossing around a permanent retainer.
So which is best for my top teeth? Perm or removable? And I've been told if I go perm on the front teeth, I will still have to do a removable to keep my molars in place.
So is it worth getting a perm. retainer for the top??
Thanks for your time!!!!!!!!!
