So I have just come back from holidays where I was grazing on food all day and tended to not wear my retainer as much as I should. Anyway, I am TRYING to get back into the habit of eat, put retainer back in. But I hate putting it back in dirty and I am hardly ever home to brush after meals, and I am...

The retainer is on both the top and bottom

Thanks everyone! I am very happy with the result!

Thanks guys! It's very exciting and very weird.

Thanks Ken! They aren't perfect, but I am pretty happy with them!!!

Hi everyone!!! the ortho said that at my next adjustment I will be getting bands zig-zagged across my back teeth (I think to pull them out a bit)...
