My dentist wants to put a bonded retainer on my uppers and lowers. I can't find anybody else who has had both sets bonded. Is this unorthodox? Is there any known drawback to bonding the uppers?
He is not planning on a removable retainer also. What does lateral refer to? What else needs to be done? Also, what keeps the front teeth from migrating away from the molar?
