I have just had my upper braces put back on - I had them temporarily removed for my wedding and honeymoon back in November
Whilst the braces were off, my ortho attached a bonded retainer behind my teeth so they wouldn't move. I had the braces put back on again last Wednesday (10th Jan) but he has not taken the retainer off?
How will my teeth move if the retainer is holding them still? I presume the arch wire is stronger (I have ceramic brackets but a thick metal wire as my teeth have a lot of moving still to do!) - but I am worried that at some point the bonded retainer will 'ping' off...this could hurt!!
Probably a bit of a unique situation here, but if anyone has any thoughts...
). 
were so great! I felt so confident - my front 6 basically looked perfect and no one can see why I have to continue treatment! But my teeth need to move further forward, and one of them still is very slightly twisted - plus I have to have the bottom ones fixed yet for my bite to work. Gutted to have them put back on in a way, but I know it'll be worth it, and maybe I won't wear them for as long as I am preparing myself for. Original treatment time was estimated at 18-24 months - I have done 5 months already, but am working on the basis of 24 more adjustments...I need to get one of those ticker things!
