Thanks for your reply alimommy. Yes, its on the bottom front four so maybe a bonded retainer would work. Although I was under the impression I wouldn't be able to wear the top one because of the protection shield thing they stick on your roof to protect the wound from the cut-out (you can see I'm ve...

gum recession
Hi all. I finished invisalign over a year ago and have been wearing my retainer at night ever since. Over the last few months I noticed my gums had receeded, but this was particularly bad for one tooth (my front lower). I went to my dentist, who literally shoved his hands in my mouth and really wobb...

sorry I'm just replying - lost my internet connection for a few days. Cue my embarrassment :oops: all was fine the next day. I think my extra sensitive skin just reacted to the dye slightly. :oops: The brown was dye stains I think as it came out the next day, and the skin redness went down by the en...

HELP: the clay stuff they use to take moulds
Hi all, I broke my retainer so had to go and have another mould done today. The dentist got a blob of the clay on my face. I wiped it away but it still felt sticky and I presumed it would just wear off, but now I've come home its turned into a light brown patch. Ive tried scrubbing it and its not go...

I can't help with the baby teeth question, but presuming you mean Birmingham, England I can recommend Dr Kumar from New Street Dental. He's also just opened a drop-in dental surgery at House of Fraser. Very nice staff, and answer any questions you may have. They hold regular invisalign introductory ...

Finished! But retainer Q
Hi all, Well after 11 months Ive finished my invisalign treatment (waiting for dentist to send me before and after pics to show you). I have a question about my retainer though. I've been given the plastic one you wear at night, but they feel a little loose. I wore them for the first time last night...

Mine was 23U/17L. Im on 21U now, and only wear my 17L every night. I wore it full time until I was on 19U and then my dentist said I could cut down to night's as long as I wore them every night. They're a little bit discoloured now but you can't tell when they're on (not that anyone can see while Im...
