well i got my retainers back today , my orthodontist said i realy don't know why this is doing this, i hope the extra strong hooks around the molors pull things back into place , something is happening because my teeth are sore , he wants to see me back sept 23, he set the appt time for 1 1/2 hours , if i need to have braces put back on , i told him i want to wait till jan IF they need to go on AGIAN
his respond was lets see what happens between now an then ,

Hi Joe,
Sorry to hear that. I hope that your retainer is doing what it needs to do and you don't have to get rebraced! Thinking ++++++++++ thoughts!

looks like no braces required, he said it looked better , so he adjusted my hawleys WOW there realy tight now, wants to see me in jan , he said be ready for a new positioner with headgear (IF) the adjustments to the hawleys don't work , HA i can handle that , the positioner headgear would be for night sleep wear only , looks like my overbite is still pulling an that a positioner headgear would stop it , so i'm cool with that , has anyone else ever known anybody to need this appliance for POST orthodontic treatment
