retainer
I got my braces off almost two years ago, and I have had essix retainers since I got them off. I went to the orthodontist yesterday and they changed my retainers to essix on bottom and hawley on top. I think it was a class 2 overbite that he said I have. I will be getting my new retainers on wed.

retainer question
I had my braces taken off last wed. and they had to cut the retainer so where it was not covering my 2nd molars. Now the molar on my left side is shifting and sticking out more.

Types of braces
Invisalign is a state-of-the-art alternative to braces that is virtually undetectable to other people. Invisalign straightens your teeth, not with brackets or wires, but with a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. Lingual Braces are applied behind the teeth. Since they ...

ceramic brackets
I would get the ceramics over the clear aligners if I were you. The ceramics look so much better than metal in my opinion. Also, I'm not sure but I think clear aligners are more expensive than braces. Also, I was told if you lose one set of aligners you have to pay for the hole treatment over again....

ceramic brackets
Hey iBorg! I have had braces for two years now-getting them off November 15. I have ceramic on top and metal on bottom. The whole time I have had braces none of my ceramics have come off. I have had 2 or 3 metal come off. In my opinion the ceramic seem to stay on much better than metal.

Toothpaste Question
My mom bought the Crest Vivid White and the toothpaste you use with it at night. The toothpaste will be about a year old when I get my braces off. Will it still whiten my teeth the same way it would if it was new.

what is this retainer?
My ortho has several different kinds of retainers, but one has a wire on the back of the teeth and plastic in front or something like that and it is not a permanent. Can someone show me a picture of what it looks like.
